Build problem - %rdx used with `l' suffix

Back in september, there was a message about a fix to romcc for AMD64,
which would cure the error:

/tmp/ccLriZXb.s:243: Error: Incorrect register `%rdx' used with `l' suffix

As it happens, I'm getting that error building arima/hdama from
an Opteron (it was suggested as a good starting point for a working
prom that I could branch off from). It looks like the code in romcc
has changed enough that the fix doesn't directly apply, and there was
some doubt as to whether that was the necessary fix. Is there something
else I should be doing to avoid this error?

For the record, my versions of gcc, as and linux:
