1) Change the config to reflect the fact that you have a 586-class CPU. 2) What version of binutils are you running? That sounds like an error you'd see if that was out of date. Running 'as --version' at the command prompt will tell you what you that. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
