I'm not an expert, but I received the same type of error messages when
MAKing LIBAMP, an mp3 player. Apparently the ASM error messages appear
because the way djgpp handles ASM statements differently in the latest
version (2.95). If you compile under an older version of djgpp, I'm guessing
it will probably work. If you know ASM, check out this page to fix the
problem:
http://egcs.cygnus.com/faq.html#asmclobber

Plus, there might be a patch out there somewhere. Anyone?
