the problem is that your patch is a workaround *and* there may be other
places where eax may be used too. If you can find the place where it
really hurts then it would be better for all of us, since it could
potentially point to a bug that just hasn't shown up in other situations
(inc. other compilers) so far.

As to the specific case of fmemcpy, the proper (IMHO) way to do it is to
use something like
nasm -DINIT asmsupt.asm -o initaspt.obj
and link that object into the main kernel.

But that is still not a bug fix.
