.oO(noone sane uses AT&T syntax anyway)
Well, then one has to fix gas, I assume.
DOES it fail then?
tg@herc:/home/tg $ objdump -d a.out
a.out: file format elf32-i386
Disassembly of section .text:
00000000 <.text>:
0: 8b 43 fe mov 0xfffffffe(%ebx),%eax
tg@herc:/home/tg $ cat x.s
.text
.equiv two, 2
movl -two(%ebx), %eax
Doesn't look like it (and yes, I have Marks patches
applied, since MirOS is an OpenBSD derivate, I need
it for the VIA code in the kernel).
