The fxsave/fxrstor things are new supported i686 instructions by gas.new.
You could update your gnu/usr.bin/gas.new if you have the full sources and
are building a full release (i.e. build.sh or make build).

The thing is mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING (plus resolution procedure:)

        (i386 only): i386 kernel now uses new instructions like
        `fxsave' which old gas doesn't understand.  To build the
        kernel successfuly, you need to build and install new gas
        (gnu/usr.bin/gas.new), or (temporarily) comment out
        "options I686_CPU" from your kernel configuration until you
        rebuilt your userland (and got a new gas).
