x86 assembler change (BUG?)

x86 cygwin gas-980705 snap

call (%esp)

used to generate

call   *(%esp,1)

now gives

D:/TMP\cc004007.s: Assembler messages:
D:/TMP\cc004007.s:199: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `call'

you must explicitly change it to

call *(%esp)

same for

call %eax
jmp %eax
jmp (%eax)         etc...

Was this done on purpose? is it fixed in later snaps? am I the only guy in the country that still hand codes x86 assember ?-)
