Next trial compiling 4.00-pre63 for slackware.

I had changed "NASMOPT=-O3" in "MCONFIG", then I get the famous last  
words

nasm -f elf -O3 -g -F dwarf -DDATE_STR="'0x4c27c76f'" \
		-DHEXDATE="0x4c27c76f" \
		-l isolinux-debug.lsr -o isolinux-debug.o -MP -MD .isolinux-debug.o.d isolinux-debug.asm

What does "dwarf" there?

And it's time to go to bed (perhaps with Snow White).

Viele Gruesse!
