That prefix is the operand-size prefix, which is required for most
instructions that use 32-bit register/memory operands (in a Use16 segment...
a Use32 segment would need the byte to do 16-bit reg/mem operands)... however
I don't know how to get rid of it, since I don't know why your compiler is
adding it...  I think GCC is probably making a Use32 segment, so that the
instructions for 32-bit operands don't need the prefix.
