Hi,

Make sure that your new 'as' command is the first one in your path. Type
'as --version' and check! The most probable problem is that you have the
old version in /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin comes later in your path
variable. Add /usr/local/bin to the beginning of the path and it should
work.

On the other hand, I don't think *BSD supports SSE instructions in the
kernel yet, and in that case you might as well disable the x86 assembly
loops.

Cheers,

Erik
