Greetings,

Compiling 1.5.9 I got ls to fail at asld time with 'duplicate _21'. I
libunpacked ls.s and removed _21 (it was defined '_21 = _20'). Then I
finished making ls. When running ls would dump core if the '-l' is used,
but in some cases it would work almost properly.

I ended using the 1.4 binary which seems to have no problem.

How safe is it to use 1.4 binaries in a 1.5 system? I am safe with ls which
only reads the disk, but what about other commands?

RE asld, I started with the 1.1 compiler and later moved to the 1.2 (1.3?)
compiler. Was there another (later) release? I sure did not see any on the net.
