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.
