Thanks, that fixed it.  Need to be on the CPP line for match.S, not
CPPFLAGS. :)

Doesn't seem to be.  An example of the error is:
/tmp/ccNkhJ3A.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccNkhJ3A.s:6671: Error: unbalanced parenthesis in first operand.
[ about twenty more ]

One of the lines it complains about is:
        movb    imen + ((0) / 8),%al                    ;

I'm looking at locore.s trying to figure out what the original code
looks like.  :(

Yes it appears to be correct.
Thanks again.
