Oops, it appears that the old assembler didn't support this
instruction.  I didn't realize that because I didn't start using it
until recently.

An easy workaround would be the following. In
arch/ia64/kernel/entry.h, change the first line of:

	#if defined(CONFIG_ITANIUM_ASTEP_SPECIFIC) || defined(CONFIG_ITANIUM_B1_SPECIFIC)
	# define MOVBR(type,br,gr,lbl)	mov br=gr

to

	#if 1
	# define MOVBR(type,br,gr,lbl)	mov br=gr

I think that should get you around the assembler problem.
Alternatively, you could upgrade the toolchain using the tar ball that
Khalid pointed you to.
