Subject[PATCH 2.6.37-rc1 x86] Build failure with old binutils.
From
Date
  AS      arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.o
arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.S:398: Error: too many positional arguments
make[2]: *** [arch/x86/kernel/entry_32.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/x86/kernel] Error 2
make: *** [arch/x86] Error 2

It seems that old binutils cannot deal

pushl_cfi (TI_sysenter_return-THREAD_SIZE_asm+8+4*4)(%esp)

line. The pushl_cfi is a macro defined as:

.macro pushl_cfi reg
pushl \reg
CFI_ADJUST_CFA_OFFSET 4
.endm

$ as --version
GNU assembler 2.15
