Is this a specific program that you're trying to compile?  What package
is it part of?  In any case, the error is exactly what it says it is. 
The assembly code in the program contains an opcode whose size suffix
does not match the size of one or more of its arguments.  Allegro 2.1
had a similar bug.  The reason you're seeing it now is because the new
version of the assembler in DJGPP v2.01 is less permissive of such
errors.
