20010803:
	(i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
	`fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the
	kernel successfully, you need to build and install new gas
	(gnu/usr.bin/gas.new), or (temporarily) comment out
	"options I686_CPU" from your kernel configuration until you
	rebuilt your userland (and got a new gas).
