To answer this I think we need to know how Linux support for these models is meant to work (if it even is meant to). If Linux does trap-and-emulate (I'm not aware of any other mechanism it has by which it could make this work) then it might just amount to passing the right -Wa,... to make the assembler accept instructions not supported in the target ISA level. But it could mean there are missing prerequisites that have to be fixed on the kernel side before anything can actually work. Rich
