The above test program won't compile on Etch; it seems that "as" from binutils 2.17 doesn't understand the long NOP instructions.
Could the opcode bytes be written literally? (For example, on old Watcom compilers, I had to write the CPUID instruction as "db 0fh, 0a2h".) -- graham -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
