Chris, Tried the patch and got below failure. I passed some bum info in my original post...
reported GNU assembler version 2.9.1 (i486-linux), using BFD version 2.9.1.0.19 which works fine with the original code. (Debian 2.1 system)
Problem version is GNU assembler version 2.9.1 (i486-linux), using BFD version 2.9.1 on a Debian 2.0 system. This failure is with the problem version. (Guess it's time to update this system.)
