2.5.8-pre1 includes the following patch:

 	jmp	rmodeswtch_end
 
The "*" was put there early in the 2.5 series, to allow non-
antique binutils to assemble the code cleanly without warnings.
This patch reintroduces those warnings. Uncool.

GAR!, my bad.  Most of the silly bits seem to stem from early 2.5
merges, hopefully there's not too many more sillies.
