I've been trying to re-compile fbsd 2.1.5 from the sources after doing an  
install and configure. Everything compiles just fine except for the .s  
(assembly files). The first one to bite it is locore.s which gives errors  
"no opcode of that name exists for i386" and "no such opcode, discarding  
rest of line, first character discarded is 'b'". The second  has to do  
with it not parsing the macros correctly; the line NON_GPROF_ENTRY(btext)  
is the line that barfs, but expanding it to:
	.align 2,0x90
	.globl btext
	btext:
fixes the error. The first error I have no idea how to fix and occurs at  
every 'shrl' assembly command in locore.s.

I'm trying to compile on a DEC P/60 PCI (with the PCI bug, whatever that  
means). I've tried to compile as i586, i486, and i386 and they all fail.  
I've also done two 'make -k all' commands to see if something in the  
Makefile is not quite right and all of the files but the .s' compile. Any  
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

leo.
