Bernd Böckmann pointed out to me that recent versions of NASM have an annoying bug:
> One note regarding the NASM package: In NASM >= 2.16 there is a bug in its OMF output module, rendering it nearly useless for DOS programming (at least if you are not outputting to plain binary). The bug is described here: https://gitlab.com/FreeDOS/devel/nasm/-/issues/1 So perhaps you consider to downgrading it to 2.15.5 until this bug is fixed, if nothing makes 2.16 mandatory.
The SvarDOS repo contains versions 2.12.02 and 2.16.01, so users have the choice. Some readme warning in the 2.16 package might be nice, though... Mateusz
