It depends on the version of Binutils you have installed, since the
instruction support is in Gas, the GNU assembler.  And you didn't tell what
version of Binutils do you have.  (If you don't know, type "as --version" and
tell what it prints.)

You aren't talking about the DJGPP crypt function, are you?  Because the
DJGPP version is simply a no-op.
