 It sounds that you are trying to compile the GRX graphics library.

You are getting the errors because gcc295 and above have 
changed there inline assembly support so that older programs 
which compiled OK with gcc281 give errors when useing newer gcc 
compilers (gcc295 etc....).

I remember that one of the subscribers to this list has posted a 
patch for the GRX library during an earlier discussion about the 
same topic. You can try visiting DJ's site <www.delorie.com> and 
try searching the mail archives for this patch.

Hope this help's, 
Kalum
