Jeff,

GCC has its own syntax for asm statements.  The asm() statements in
earith.c and bitop.c are meant to be simply copied to the asm output
of the compiler.  My guess is that GCC is mangling them.

Compiling those two files with Sun's cc should work, though there may
be other problems (I haven't tried compiling KCL with GCC).
