Nope, I'm afraid those changes were innocuous.  This is something
weirder, I think.  The compiler is spitting out something which the
ELF assembler doesn't like, to wit:

su-2.01# /usr/libexec/elf/as -v -o machdep.o machdep.s  
GNU assembler version 2.8.1 (i386-unknown-freebsdelf), using BFD version 2.8.1
machdep.s: Assembler messages:
machdep.s:919: Error: operands given don't match any known 386 instruction
machdep.s:920: Error: operands given don't match any known 386 instruction

if you look at the location in question, the error is on:
        ..
        cmpl %esi,curpcb
        jne .L352
        movl _udatasel,%ecx
#APP
        mov %ecx,%fs	<-- XXX these two
        mov %ecx,%gs	    lines XXX -- >
#NO_APP
.L352:
        movl 8(%ebp),%ecx
        movl 272(%ecx),%eax
        andb $254,212(%eax)

%fs?  %gs?  Interesting!  :-)
