i'm working with the nasm guys to get it integrated ... the latest patch 
(which i posted) they have no problems with ... it's just a matter of getting 
them to do it ... nasm development has slowed so much :(

once it does get integrated, i'll try and whip up a patch that detects whether 
the host nasm supports hidden visibility and use it in the nasm source if 
so ... otherwise people can continue to build it on older systems, they'll 
just get TEXTRELs
