Update Information:

An assembler parsing bug has been discovered in binutils released
in Fedora Core 1.  The bug affects at least Linux kernel versions
2.5.63 and later, where
nr_syscalls=(.-sys_call_table)/4
line set nr_syscalls incorrectly to (.-sys_call_table) when assembled
by binutils 2.14.90.0.1 and later.
