[ale] as86 trouble compiling kernel

[Laith Haddadin]

Hi Ari,

  I downloaded kernel 2.0.35 but it only has the 34 kernel and you patch 
it to make it 35.  I tried the 34 kernel and it to gave me the same 
problem.  Is there a way to let 'as' do the assembling instead of 
'as86'?  I've never had this problem before when I recompile my 32 
kernel.  What gives?  May I have deleted a package that contains 'as86'?
