Which version of gas did you try with? I have installed cvs version
of binutils as of a few days ago. gas doesn't recognize prefetch[012]
while it does just fine with prefetch and prefetchnta. I have
experienced the same error with binutils-2.11.2. Strangely, even
Linux is using prefetch for all kinds of P6 family and compatibles.
How would it work if prefetch instruction was only available for 
Athlon?

I should read Intel and AMD manuals again. BTW, is there anybody
who will send me results obtained from MMX-capable Intel processors? 
I sold my Pentium III some months ago (to buy an Athlon ;), so I have
only Pentium and 6x86 now.
