With 'GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.39.90.20221231' the
build now reports:
arch/x86/realmode/rm/../../boot/bioscall.S: Assembler messages:
arch/x86/realmode/rm/../../boot/bioscall.S:35: Warning: found `movsd'; assuming `movsl' was meant

Which is due to:
PR gas/29525
Note that with the dropped CMPSD and MOVSD Intel Syntax string insn
templates taking operands, mixed IsString/non-IsString template groups
(with memory operands) cannot occur anymore. With that
maybe_adjust_templates() becomes unnecessary (and is hence being
removed).

Borislav Petkov further explains:
" the particular problem here is is that the 'd' suffix is
"conflicting" in the sense that you can have SSE mnemonics like movsD %xmm...
and the same thing also for string ops (which is the case here) so apparently
the agreement in binutils land is to use the always accepted suffixes 'l' or 'q'
and phase out 'd' slowly... "
