Gene, I believe Kip is talking about the verbose output from the
makefiles. lwasm doesn't normally print out anything except warnings
and errors.

The "assembly listings" you are talking about is the very verbose and
optional output from the assembler which shows all symbol values and
generated byte code together with the source code. If anyone is
interested in those, I have introduced a mechanism in rules.mak to
have them generated and dumped in a separate, existing directory - if
you define LISTDIR. E.g.

mkdir /tmp/coco2_listings
make PORTS=coco2 LISTDIR=/tmp/coco2_listings

will give you the full collection of assembly listings for this coco2
build. I use this together with scripts/list2crc.pl which renames all
the files according to the os9 module CRC, then my gdb scripts in
scripts/os9.gdb can use this to automatically call up the correct
listing in an editor and position the cursor at the current point of
execution during debugging with gdb. Pretty neat I must say.
Unfortunately gdb is only available on XRoar AFAIK so no luck for
coco3 debugging.
