Apologies for not replying into the thread, but I just subscribed and
don't have that luxury until some listmail arrives for this thread.

I'm getting the same problem doing a `make buildkernel KERNCONF=GENERIC`
on an amd64 system (Intel core i5 4-way):

Is the assembler somehow configured for the wrong target machine?

I did a cvsup this morning to pull me to the most recent source code
level, and still have the same problem.

Ideas? Questions? This appears a bit more pervasive than I had initially
thought, if this Joe User here (well, Joe Sysadmin) is getting caught by it. 

Thanks, and 73, de
