Yes, this one is just a plain bug (it uses an rvalue with a + modifier 
which is illegal.)

There also seems to be some problems with the constraints.  These seem 
to be gcc bugs, mostly, I have in fact had it try to generate x86-64 
specific registers like %dil in 32-bit mode!

It seems that "r" is broken for 8-bit registers and newer gccs want 
either "q" or "Q".  Since older gcc's don't support them one need to use 
something like "abcd".

Anyway, I've release syslinux-2.10-pre3 which should fix these problems.
