} Your diagnosis is correct, and I believe the 16-bit assembler "as86" is in what
} both Red Hat and Debian call the "bin86" package. Ironically, this same

} The solution is to manually install the "bin86" package.
Just a minute. I have never manually installed any bin86 and I
have compiled kernels that have all the ax25-utils set and I get a clean
compile. I am using Red Hat version 5.2 and the *real* kernel tree, not
the one Red Hat sends with it.
Why do I not get the errors?
