Hello Klaus, I had a look into the SVN repo of the yasm port, here: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/devel/yasm/Makefile?view=log the last version change dates from Feb 2012; so this does not look as a yasm regresion for me. And if you look into the output produced by the yasm' preproc, http://www.unixarea.de/yasm.out why yasm does know X86FXSTATE_size at line 733 in yasm.out: X86FXSTATE_size EQU $ - X86FXSTATE but not X86TSS16_size in line 765: X86TSS16_size EQU $ - X86TSS16 i.e. from where it knows X86FXSTATE_size, but not X86TSS16_size? > The port maintainer frequently hangs out on IRC (freenode/#vbox-dev), > but I don't think there is any good solution known yet.
