using Solaris on x86, but I did not find if he every did say that.

I should have mentioned what tools I'm using and the why I sent the patch.  
I am using the native Sun assembler and linker.  The Sun assembler does 
not understand the .previous so that is the reason for the patch.

Using the binutils from www.blastwave.org I managed to get only the first 
5 files of 'make depend' to compile before it had problems with assembler.  
Seems to be easier to use the native version.
