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.
