Ok, I solved my own problem On 3.0-RELEASE as -v gives me GNU Assembler 2.9.1 as -aout -v gives me GNU Assembler 1.92.3 So aout mode does drop back to the old toolchain. That is a pitty. So in order to make a.out binaries with MMX inline code, I need to make a new copy of gas 2.9.1 in a.out format. (which is not a problem. I have done it before) BTW, I use the MMX instructions in my image processing work. I got a 40% speedup in my code. For once, you can believe Intels hype.
