I attempted to compile the GNU tar program the other day and ran into
what looks like a problem in asld.  It reports the symbols "_9" and
"_19" as being "multiple" defined.  When I looked through the .s files
it was trying to link, I noticed that the compiler generates *lots*
of symbols whose names are small integers.  The only ones that asld
complains about are "_9" and "_19"!  (And it only complains when it
is compiling GNU tar!)  I'm running 1.3d with Bruce Evans' protected mode 
diffs and the 1.2 compiler on a 386 clone.

Anybody have any clues?  Am I going to have to try to figure out
how to cross-compile this thing using Turbo C?  (Boy will I be
happy when 386-Minix and gcc arrive!)
