Thank you for prompt response. I have just installed my ancient copy of
Fedora and there 'make all' of memtest works OK. I also found
'.previous' in 'info as' (on cygwin):
`.previous'
===========
This is one of the ELF section stack manipulation directives. The
others are `.section' (*note Section::), `.subsection' (*note
SubSection::), `.pushsection' (*note PushSection::), and `.popsection'
(*note PopSection::).
ELF is a different binary format.
This directive swaps the current section (and subsection) with most
recently referenced section (and subsection) prior to this one.
Multiple `.previous' directives in a row will flip between two sections
(and their subsections).
In terms of the section stack, this directive swaps the current
section with the top section on the section stack.
And since cygwin works under Windows I suspect, that cygwin people setup
the 'as' program to support windows loader. Now I am thinking -- should
I go to linux, or stay with cygwin. Actually I need to write a small
program, which works on bare metall w/o any o/s.
Windows binary format differs from ELF. You need to port the program.
