having problems with make

[Colin Foran]

Hi guys. Lately ive been having a problem compiling any downloaded
software. Any time i 'make', i get the same warnings:


/tmp/cc9YXv9t.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cc9YXv9t.s:2: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x
/tmp/cc9YXv9t.s:2: Warning: Unrecognized .section attribute: want a,w,x
/tmp/cc9YXv9t.s:2: Error: Rest of line ignored. First ignored character
is `,'.
make[2]: *** [loadmsgcat.lo] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

**********************************
Has this poped up on anyone else before ? Its always the same message,
so i'm assumeing its a common problem for each error. This last one was
thrown at me when i was trying to 'make' gettext.
Thanks a lot
-Cheers
