#503 New nasm 2.09 cause build problems on i386/i686 machines
I think this might be a reappearance of this bug:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3026808&group_id=6208&atid=106208
Basically when building xbmc on f14 in mock or in the RPM Fusion build system, versions of nasm >= 2.09 causes problems on i686 machines:
make[1]: Entering directory
`/builddir/build/BUILD/xbmc-Dharma_beta1/xbmc/cores/paplayer/SPCCodec/SNES/SNESAPU'

I'm looking into it. Thanks for report.
ok, I managed to reproduce the issue and seems fixed it. so the patch will be discussed and reviewed first before hit nasm code.
n.b. please next time push example of problematic code together with report, it's not that easy to understand what is wrong when you have no example.
test-case: compile as "nasm -felf SPC700.Asm"
test case attached
it seems we've resolved this issue though need some time for testing before merging
Should be fixed in 2.09.02. Thanks.
