Interesting. I copied and pasted your sample program, and I get the same 
thing I get with all of my tests: it complains about expecting a name, 
and then it goes into an infinite loop. I can only get past that if I 
specify some name besides "main" for the main routine.

hunter at zaius:bliss$ blissc test.b32

^C
hunter at zaius:bliss$

And if I change to "MAIN=test", I get:

hunter at zaius:build$ ./blissc ~/tmp/bliss/test.b32
hunter at zaius:build$ gcc test.o -o test
/usr/bin/ld: 
/usr/lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/11/../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/Scrt1.o: in

/usr/bin/ld: test.o: in function `TEST':
HELLOWORLD:(.text+0xc): undefined reference to `PUTS'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
hunter at zaius:build$

Also, where is your puts() coming from?
