gcc   -g   -Wall -m486     -c t2.cc -o t2.o
	I tried removing "-m486" and it worked perfectly.  It appears as though the
'-m486' switch sometimes makes programs 'wrong'.

	I don't know how to do that.  I use RHIDE, I tried making the targetname
"test.s" and it did not work, stated: "Don't know how to build test.s from
(null)".  I also tried "test.S" with the same result.
