Thanks for the report.  Yes, this has been reported already to me but I 
didn't get a response from the other person yet, so perhaps you could
help...  Note that this works fine on my P4 with SuSE Linux
(gcc-3.3.3-36 rpm and binutils 2.15.90.0.1.1-26 rpm) and it works fine
for many other people...

Which binutils version do you have (rpm -q binutils)?

Can you type (inside the configured kernel tree):

make fs/ntfs/logfile.s

And email this file to me.  Line 683 of that file should give us a clue
why this is failing.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Best regards,

	Anton
