I was trying to compile shred (from fileutils-4.1) on an machine with an
older compiler, which failed because the "rdtsc" intel instruction is only
available on Pentium class processors (quote from Nasm documentation):
A.141 RDTSC: Read Time-Stamp Counter
RDTSC ; 0F 31 [PENT]
RDTSC reads the processor's time-stamp counter into EDX:EAX.
This in struction is used on line 836. As far as I know, there is no
similar instruction on the 386 or 486; the only solution I can think of is
to use the generic (C) version on these machines.
So the patch should be: sed s/__i386__/__i686__/g
Thanks for all the good work,
Sean Young
