I'm getting the errors that others are seeing building linux-2.3.21

bbootsect.s:687: Error: base/index register must be 32 bit register

with
GNU assembler version 2.7 (i486-linux), using BFD version 2.7.0.3
and after installing the Minimal Requirements from linux/Documentation/Changes

- Binutils 2.8.1.0.23 ; ld -v

....
Either use binutils-2.8.1.0.23 or binutils-2.9.1.0.7 or later.
...

So I found a copy of
binutils-2.8.1.0.23.bin.tar.gz
and installed it.

I'm still getting the errors
dd:boot# as -version
