My own fault, I should have read the whole message instead of  
jumping to the end immediately.

Yep, I had problems with dummy.c before, but they were definitely  
preprocessor problems and not assembler problems - so your's are  
different !

OTOH, I do not know whether upgrading the assembler will help.  The  
GNU assembler is part of the binutils package, and *I* cannot  
upgrade binutils on my NEXTSTEP system, because the package doesn't  
support the Mach-O object format (try to do a file <something>.o on  
a correctly compiled object file - if it says: Mach-O format, you're  
lost).

OTTH, egcs-1.0.3 & egcs-1.1-prerelease _do_ generate correct  
assembler on my m68k system, so the question is:  Do you really need  
a new assembler ?  Unfortunately, I do not have access to an  
i386-next-nextstep3 system to find out ...

HTH,
Toon.
