I think by that you mean this guy: as --version GNU assembler 2.16.91.0.5 20051219 (SUSE Linux) Copyright 2005 Free Software Foundation, Inc. This program is free software; you may redistribute it under the terms of the GNU General Public License. This program has absolutely no warranty. This assembler was configured for a target of `x86_64-suse-linux'. at least this is one incarnation of it. I had to install SLES10 SP3 with the unpatched binutils version in kvm to test. And yes, the kernel builds fine. Let me know if I should run some randconfigs, in addition. Btw, I'm keeping the kvm image for future testing with the bat from hell :). -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
