Hi,
I tried to update a machine which will become a webserver in
near future. I received following error in buildkernel:

I made some research (as good as I could) and found out/assumed sth.:
1) #APP and #NO_APP will be placed by cc around inline assembly
and forces the assembler to reformat spaces as required to parse
code well.
2) in /usr/obj/usr/src/sys/MOBY/ata-all.s (generated by cc -S)
are 209 #APP/#NO_APP pairs are used, but only above described
one fails.
3) in theory, the error described by me couldn't happen
4) the asm instruction lock ; x ; causes the processor to lock the
execution of instruction x.
b) lock ; x ; y ; cause the processor to lock x and executes y normal
c) "lock ; x ; y ;" could be written as "lock\n\tx\n\t\y\n\t" with
same generated binary code
5) if in /usr/src/sys/i386/include/atomic.h the line
" movzbl %%al,%0 ; "
is changed into
" movzbl %%al,%0\n\t" ,
the ata-all.c is compiled without any warning.

Jens
