Well, for the benefit of the original poster, attached is a small patch
that allows it to compile on my linux/ppc box.  This is for DASM
2.20.07.  As you can see inside it, there isn't that much that needs
changing, though it compiles with a lot of warnings.

So, to use this, just run
$ cd DASM
$ patch -p1 < dasm.patch
$ cd src
$ make

Unfortunately, I think that linux users who avoid being unix users by
pretending that x86 is the only architecture in use have caused a lot of
problems for other linux users.

Cheers.
