Here's a simple task for you: please make a numbered release of gcnasm,
in a tarball like gcnasm-0.1.tar.gz that you'll upload to our wiki. It
should include some brief documentation inside it, as well as links to
the corresponding wiki page and to your GitHub repository.

Understood. I hope Lukas explained to you that you should have been
posting the weekly reports anyway, even if you had no progress to report.

Yes, please - but please make the gcnasm release first. In general,
both of these tasks - gcnasm release and a working CRC-32 JtR format
written using gcnasm - are intended to let someone else conveniently
continue with the project, whether along with you or on their own.
As such, your completion of these tasks adds much value to the code
you've written during the summer.

After a couple of minutes of staring at your code^Whack, I think I see
the bug: you set BINARY_SIZE to 2, whereas it should be 4 (or even 8, if
you're for some totally weird reason experimenting with 64-bit hash
values for now, even though CRC-32 will only use 32-bit).
