binutils-cross-x86_64

[h-peter recktenwald]

hi, 
using binutils-64 since a few days, in a more "old-fashined" standard
linux environment (re below), until now everything fine... only a few,
minor bugs:


1) compiling the binutils-cross-x86_64 (2.11.90, "suse" sources)
    make dvi info => "bfdsumm.texi" not found
    "fixed" when copied to every doc-dir, ok.

2) intentional? but, errors while kernel compiling (make bzImage):
    register names read case in-dependently if ".att_syntax" not 
    explicitely specified. for instance, output from  - compiled w. 

CFLAGS = -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
HOSTCFLAGS =-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer
(plus, while testing, "-save-temps -Wa,-als")

"offending" file: <arch/i386/kernel/entry.S>
        ---

entry.s: Assembler messages (lines when compiled as a single file):
    ...
entry.s:825: Error: junk `(%esp)' after register
entry.s:829: Error: junk `(%esp)' after register
entry.s:867: Error: junk `(%esp)' after register

    which was due to those "C"-ish text-macroes with capitalized register 
    names. "fixed" by inserting ".att_synax" at beginning of file 
        
    kernel seems ok, running while this messages goes to the inet...
