I sympathize. This has actually cost me quite some nerves as well, before
through some debugging and experimentation I found the answer:
The kernel expects the first argument 4 bytes below of the current stack
pointer, which means you have to put the int 80h call on its own label to
get it right.
I usually use nasm (hate AT&T syntax, sorry),
should translate easily, something like:
_start:
push 0
mov eax, 1
call syscall
syscall:
int 80h
ret
should do the job.
Greetings, J.
