Hi all,

I am often experiencing problems on netbsd with i386 16-bit code assembler
files which generally build fine on freebsd or linux... Anyone have an idea
of what might be going wrong?

cc -Wall -Iinclude -c -o bin/init16.o init16.S
/tmp/ccVO3S7B.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccVO3S7B.s:138: Error: base/index register must be 32 bit register
/tmp/ccVO3S7B.s:148: Error: base/index register must be 32 bit register
gmake: *** [bin/init16.o] Error 1

and the file begins as follows:

#include <asm-inc/boot.h>
#include <asm-inc/segdefs.h>
#include <asm-inc/meminfo.h>
