Hi fello Linux fans,

I have some problem with using 'as86' on Linux 0.95. It complains even
when I tried to assemble crt0.s from the Linux kernel source.

I looked up in Linux kernel's makefile (linux/Makefile), which uses the '-0
-a' option, and I tried that without success.

Do I forget something here? either the option switch, or simply the wrong
assembler?

I also tried to use gcc2.0 to compile a hello-world program. It requires
'as' and 'ld', so I linked my as86 to as and ld86 to ld respectively.
But it fails in a similar fashion.

The as86 and ld86 I have now were from Linux' distribution file
"binaries/compilers/as86.tar.Z" from FTP site tsx-11.mit.edu.

Could somebody help me out?

Thanks in advance.
