compile error

[Jay Kelly <neutec@pacbell.net>]

Hello All,
Quick question. When I compile my kernel 2.2.12 I use "make dep" the "make
clean" then "make bzimage or make bzdisk" and I receive an errror at the end
of the compile:

make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
as86 -0 -a -o bbootsect.o bbootsect.s
make[1]: as86: Command not found
make[1]: *** [bboot.o] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot'
make: *** [bzdisk] Error 2

So what do you guys think? The whole reason Im compiling is to remove an
error I have when boot with the modules and adding ip-masq.
Thanks Guys
