By all * means, fire away! Thanks, but we need (at least) to have gas fixed to understand MMX instructions before we can even start coding. ;) I just checked prep but judging from the timestamp of binutils-2.7's release (2.6->2.7 patch is dated July of last year), it doesn't seem like FSF has updated it yet. Does anyone know if someone (like other *BSD's?) is working on it? Satoshi
