Hi Yuri!

	Hmm, this is very odd.  Looks like it's barfing on the IRQ_STUB macro.
Can you do two things for me?

1) Please confirm that your line 162 is:
	IRQ_STUBS 0 1 return_to_host		/* First two traps */

2) Then please send me the output of "as --version", eg:
	GNU assembler 2.17 Debian GNU/Linux

Perhaps I accidentally used a new gas feature?

Thanks!
Rusty.
