With the simple patch I'm attaching, movl instructions are changed with movw, that works for segment registers for both 2.15 and 2.16/2.17 binutils. (Sorry for the duplicate, didn't though this is not bugzilla :/ The patch is at http://sources.gentoo.org/viewcvs.py/gentoo-x86/sys-freebsd/freebsd-sources/files/freebsd-sources-6.0-asm.patch?rev=1.1&view=markup . >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
