During make world, this is being assembled by the a.out assembler.
But when you do it by hand, you get the elf assembler. I haven't been
following this code, and don't know which assembler is supposed to
be used here. The a.out assembler can't handle this, on line 223 of
boot0.s:
.fill start+PRT_OFF-0x3-.,0x1,0x90
I'm a little bit surprised that the ELF assembler can handle this.
