Hi there!

I've just got an error trying to build octave 2.0.2 on linux/gnu
1.2.8.  I've got binutils 2.7 configured with no special options,
gcc-2.7.2.1 + g77-0.5.19 configured --with-gas --with-gnu-ld and
libg++ 2.7.2 installed with --enable-shared.  octave was configured
with --enable-shared --with-g77.

The error occurs when the assembler is invoked to produce a shared
object file.  The assembly code was generated from a fortran source
file.  Here's the error message:

g77 -c -fPIC  scaleg.f -o pic/scaleg.o
/tmp/cca19549.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/cca19549.s:274: Error: operands given don't match any known 386 instruction

make[1]: *** [libcruft] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/install-octave-2.0.2-visconde-5118/octave-2.0.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2


Here's a verbose output:

g77 -v -c -fPIC scaleg.f -o pic/scaleg.o

And here's the offending line:

        leal .LC0@GOTOFF(%ebx),-964(%ebp)

I'll assume you may get the source code by yourselves.  Good luck!

I'm not sure whether the problem is on the gcc backend, the g77
frontend or the assembler, so I'm submitting this bug report to all of
you.
