I have tracked down the bug I reported yesterday. The problem is in
the XFS support, in the file stage2/fsys_xfs.c, which has several
cases of inline assembly of instructions that are not supported on
386, like bswap.
This breaks 386 compatibility, for no good reason that I can see.
A work-around that I currently use, is to disable XFS support by
doing ./configure --disable-xfs.
