the problem comes from libmp: the machine-dependent files written in
assembly (/src/libmp/386/*-Darwin.s) are causing it (and they are all
broken, not just the one reported). it's beyond me to figure out why
at the moment. i tried a couple of things at random, but that's not a
way to fix a problem.

all the functions defined therein have a replacement written in C in
the port/ directory of libmp. a workaround for now will be to fix the
mkfile in port/ to not look for the machine-dependent files (comment
out the test in the reduce script and let it just echo all file
names).

next bug is all the way to venti:
