It's a long way towards it:

    # AT&T.                      # Intel.
            .text                        .text
            .align  16                   .align  16
            .globl  main                 .globl  main
                                         .type   main, @function
    main:                        main:
            subl $12, %esp               sub esp, 12
            fnstcw 10(%esp)              fnstcw word ptr [esp + 10]
            movb $2, 11(%esp)            mov byte ptr [esp + 11], 2
            fldcw 10(%esp)               fldcw word ptr [esp + 10]
            movl 20(%esp), %eax          mov eax, dword ptr [esp + 20]
            movl 4(%eax), %eax           mov eax, dword ptr [eax + 4]

Just some little bits to go.

Cheers,


Ralph.
