Long shot, check if linux-headers was updated recently. There seems to be 2 revisions since the version you have. Only thing I can think of pulling strange asm warnings like that.
The only stable update was for sparc/alpha systems, 2.6.11-r4. I see that 2.6.15_rc6 is hardmasked but available and the changelog for 30 Dec says "Fix glibc compile; start running headers___fix on all the headers by default." so perhaps this is a known 2.6.15/AMD64 issue. I'll give it a try (and hope it doesn't blow anything else up ;-). Thanks for the tip.
No, it wasn't the headers. I get the same error with the 2.6.15_rc6 headers. So I downgraded the headers back to 2.6.11-r3 and rebooted with a 2.6.14 kernel to try to get closer to where I was when this last worked...and I get the same error.
