I have found something "curious" in as. For example, assembling:

	movw $1234,%fs:wops
or
	incl %fs:wops

goes ok, but replacing the constant with a register:
	movw %ax,%fs:wops

just generates 
	movw %ax,wops

which is not, preciselly, what we wanted, as it drops the segment
prefix.

Writing
	fs
	movw %ax,wops

generates the correct code.

Can someone else test it and tell me something?  My as is dated Feb 02
