Fiasco compile problems on 486

[Michael Hohmuth]

I'm crossposting this to the OSKit mailing list because this is an
OSKit question.

(This is an FAQ -- check out
<URL:http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/fiasco/faq.html>.)

I cannot reproduce this problem.  However, as this binary isn't
needed, you can work around this problem by "touch
oskit/examples/multiboot-smp".

My guess is that this problem is caused by some combination of
compiler and linker versions.  Can anyone shed some light on this?
