Newer binutils is a bit stricter and errors out when you try
to use movl on a 16 bit word on x86_64.  Using just a "mov"
compiles fine and should result in the same code.

{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:2138: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
{standard input}:2140: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
{standard input}:2142: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
{standard input}:2144: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
