I've just finished to compile 2.5.3-pre5 and I noticed the following strange warning from as(1):

	as -o bsetup.o bsetup.s
	bsetup.s: Assembler messages:
	bsetup.s:1180: Warning: Value 0x37ffffff truncated to 0x37ffffff.
					  ~~~~~~		  ~~~~~~

It's comming from the small change introduced in setup.S:

	ramdisk_max:  .long __MAXMEM-1        # (Header version 0x0203 or later)

FYI as(1) version is:

	as --version
	GNU assembler 2.11.90.0.19

Cheers
