The patch to allow this is simple. At least openssl and international kernel patch use bswapl. Rejecting this syntax causes compiling failure. On the other hand "bswapl %eax" is no less legal than "pushl %eax" or "addl %eax,%ebx" allowed in 2.9.4 and if you disallow l suffix for bswap you should also do it for all the instructions with 32-bit regs. -- Alexander Sokolov System Administrator ROSNET Komsomolsk-na-Amure Tel./Fax: +7-095-737-6260
