binutils 2.9 is broken on x86. It silently turns
incb %di
into
incl %edi
Although my binutils chokes on it, however it didn't generate
bogus opcode. I will make binutils 2.8.1.0.30 to fix it. In
the meantime, please don't go back to old binutils.
Ian, please don't make 2.9 as is. It turns out my worry comes
true. My x86 patch seems quite useful.
Thanks.
H.J.
