"no such 386 instruction" with gcc 2.95.2

"no such 386 instruction" with gcc 2.95.2

[David L. Nicol]

I think I must need to upgrade my assembler, but:
2.4.0/Documentation/Changes does not list an assembler version.

The gas assembler is part of binutils.

Hmm, perhaps I understand: xor wants to have best routines for all
possible CPUs, so it has instructions beyond 386....

	It does, the "binutils" package contain the assembler and linker,
	et.al. of that kind utilities.  The errors quoted below are
	definitely due to "too old" assembler.

Hi!

I have a similar problem when compiling recent 2.4.0-ac or 2.4.1-pre kernels:

gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/usr/src/linux/include -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe  -march=i686    -c -o i387.o i387.c
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:30: Error: no such 386 instruction: `ldmxcsr'
{standard input}:52: Error: no such 386 instruction: `fxsave'
{standard input}:87: Error: no such 386 instruction: `fxsave'
{standard input}:115: Error: no such 386 instruction: `fxrstor'
make[1]: *** [i387.o] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.4.0-ac11/arch/i386/kernel'
make: *** [_dir_arch/i386/kernel] Error 2

I'm using binutils 2.10.1 and egcs 1.1.2.

What could be the problem?

Thanks in advance,
                    Jakob
