The previous interlck_asm.S contained:

.global @ExfInterlockedCompareExchange64@12
@ExfInterlockedCompareExchange64@12:
	<...>
	movl 4(%edx),%edx
	LOCK
	cmpxchg8b (%esi)
	<...>

Which is the same as what is in it now... how did your binutils manage to compile it? If
it did, then it's simply a bug
in binutils and at one point we have to draw the line at how many buggy releases of
compilers and linkers we want to
support.
