Three Dumb Questions

Several readers have responded with suggestions and help for my
cross-compiler problems, and I want to thank everyone who responded to me.
They really helped, and so now it occurred to me that this list might be a
good place to ask a few questions to help me get pointed towards relevant
materials.  I am still somewhat confused here, and a little bit of insight
would be very helpful.

I believe these questions could be adequately answered by "RTFM" - but what
I really want to know is what manual (where?) should I read?  My questions
are:

      1)  Where can I find documentation on what the somewhat cryptic
assembly
           commands used by GNU "__asm__" do?  (I've looked through "Using
and
           Porting GNU CC" by Richard Stallman, but haven't found it.)
      2)  What is the function in gcc of crti.o?  Where can I find the
source?
      3)  How can I insert commands in a Makefile to dump (selected)
diagnostic
           information near a failure point?  (I've got GNU make
documentation
           for versions 3.74 and 3.75) in .ps format, but I'm still looking
for
           suggestions.)

This newbie would appreciate some guidance.
