Hi there.
I'm building a new set of tools to build for an embedded i386 target.
I've taken the latest binutils (2.15) along with version 3.4.1 of gcc,
and
version 1.13.0 or newlib.
I tried building the 2.6.10 linux kernel to test my newly built tools,
but
the build is failing early on trying to assemble entry.S. It complains
of an unbalanced parenthesis in several of the instructions.
I've come up with a single line assmebler source file which demonstrates
the problem. Here's the source file:
cmpl $(100/4), %eax
I assembled this file with my newly built 2.15 assembler, and the
standard
RedHat 9 assembler (2.13). Here are the results:

Anyone else encountered this problem?
