NASM 0.98.39 WARNING

[Royce Mitchell III]

ReactOS will not build on Windows with the latest version of Nasm ( 
0.98.39 ), because at least some public releases of that version ( I 
just downloaded the official from sourceforge.net ), do not support long 
file names, and we have a long file name in PSEH.

We can just shorten that asm's file name, but we could also configure 
the build system to reject that version.

I don't feel like dealing with it, so I thought I would just send a 
head's up here :)

I am running NASM version 0.98.35 compiled on Oct 28 2002
and binutils 2.15.94 (mingw32) using BFD version 2.15.94 20050118
older version of bintuils can not build reactos 
you need binutils 2.15.94 other you got error msg about the asm code.
fs:% something.

I use 0.98.38 just fine.

It's 0.98.39 SPECIFICALLY, and the failure is related to long file 
names, not the contents of the file. Also, some have used 0.98.39 
without a problem so it's apparently a "build issue".
