While working on calling chroot() on startup when the right 
environmental variables are set, I came across this minor problem:

Compiling the program below with a binutils snapshot from Oct/Nov 98 
produces a warning:

c:/djgpp/tmp/cc5xliF6.s: Assembler messages:
c:/djgpp/tmp/cc5xliF6.s:24: Warning: using `%ecx' instead of `%cx' due 
to `l' suffix

#include <sys/segments.h>

int main()
{
  _my_ds();
  return 0;
}

the offending instruction seems to be 'movl %ds,%cx' in _my_ds().

Does it still occur with a more recent snapshot? Does _my_ds() need 
adjustment or does this need to be reported to the binutils people?
