I forget why I made the change to i386.h as part of this patch
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils-cvs/2000-q1/msg00155.html

The binutils email archive doesn't seem to contain anything related to
my patch.  The instructions probably should have been removed, as they
duplicate fildq.

Hmm, I see that "fild qword ptr [%esi]" doesn't do the right thing too.
:-(
