Source: http://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2008-01/msg00017.html

I am checking this x86 assembler patch:

http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2008-01/msg00148.html

to check operand size. fnstsw stores 16bit into %ax. The upper
16bit of %eax is unchanged.  The new assembler will disallow
"fnstsw %eax".  Here is a patch for glibc.


H.J.
