BTW I found a new real problem. With:

movl %%eax, $_TheArray(,%%esi,4)

I receive the same invalid 386 instruction error message. Mmmh...I investigate on this. I have found this (probably) bug in the "as":

movl $_TheArray(,%%esi,4), %%eax

and

movl %%eax, _TheArray(,%%esi,4)

is accepted from the assembler without any problems. But sadly:

movl %%eax, $_TheArray(,%%esi,4)

is refused. If this isn't a bug, anyone know the reasons?

YES, YES!! Thats what Ive been talking about all along! I must make my english a bit more clear - sorry.
