	Hello,

	Well, I have successfully built Mach 4 on FreeBSD after patching the
assembler a bit.  I include the patch in this mail.  I don't think that it
can break anything (I am running a system recompiled from the current sources
and it works as usual).  Note that the very same patch is needed for NetBSD 1.0.


	Can someone please consider commiting this patch?
