Nope, this won't work with the assembler.. I get:
gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.     -O -pipe -Wall  -I/usr/X11R6/include -c
x86.S
mapper.h: Assembler messages:
mapper.h:35: Error: no such 386 instruction: `extern'

Sorry, I am not all that familiar with gas/x86, is there another syntax for
declaring LASTBANK as defined elsewhere?  

Btw, this is all with tuxnes-0.75.  I'm not sure how different it is from
the cvs
version.  I am unable to get very far in building that either, especially
since I
don't seem to have aclocal (is this supposed to be part of autoconf?).  

Thanks for your help.
