No, it's not ;-).  It says that the instruction implies certain size of 
its operands, but the actual operands have different size.  For example, 
"movl" instruction with %al as its operand would trigger this message.

The problem is that the library was compiled with older versions of 
Binutils, where the assembler would silently accept such problems.

Seems like this is the problem: %al is a 1-byte size, not a long 
(4-byte).

Why do you need to rebuild the library anyway?
