Please wait until 2.8.1.0.26. My current gas get:

# cat 1.s
push %ds
pushl %ds
pushw %ds
mov %ds,%ax
movw %ds,%ax
movw %ds,%eax
mov %ds,%eax
movl %ds,%eax
movl %ds,%ax
# gcc -c 1.s
# objdump -d 1.o

1.o: file format elf32-i386

Disassembly of section .text:

00000000 <.text>:

11: 8c d8 movl %ds,%eax
# cat 2.s
movb %ds,%ax
movb %ds,%eax
pushb %ds
# gcc -c 2.s
2.s: Assembler messages:
2.s:1: Error: register does not match opcode suffix
2.s:2: Error: register does not match opcode suffix
2.s:3: Error: register does not match opcode suffix

Does it look to everyone? I am preparing for 2.8.1.0.26 today
or tomorrow.

BTW, Linus is right. Intel reference manual is wrong on segment
registers. I had to modify opcodes/i386-dis.c too.

Thanks.
