In recent discussion in OpenWatcom lists it was noticed that at least 
certain addressing modes of assembler ENTER instruction causes a crash 
when used in Linux. GCC circumnavigates this by not emitting ENTER 
instructions in assembly code. Linus's comment on the above issue can be 
found on:

What's the status of the above "feature" in FreeBSD, do we support the 
whole x86 instruction set?
