It is an error message from the assembler.  Try compiling with the "-c" 
and "--save-temps" flags and then locate the line in the assembler 
source file where the error is flagged.  Presumably it will relate to 
this line in your source code:

>   asm volatile (" dataPS2 = %c0 ": : "i" (&MOUSE.data.PS2));

You didn't say, but I assume that you are compiling for an x86 target ?

My guess is that the assembler is no longer support the syntax you are 
using to assign a value to the "dataPS2" symbol.  Perhaps you need to 
change the above asm() statement to use the .set pseudo operator ?
