demonstration of the problem

By re-reading this report today I realized it's highly obscure - I'm sorry for
that. Here I attach a screenshot that should be self-explanatory.

After some additional research, it would appear that the problem is not related
to nasm after all, but to some odd behavior of FreeDOS. In the example shown on
the attached screenshot, nasm complains about 'too many input files'. In fact,
it complains because apparently FreeCOM splits the parameter "-DXCPU=86" into
two arguments when calling nasm from within a batch file, so nasm effectively
gets one argument "-DXCPU" and another one "86". Not sure why exactly this
happens, nor whether this is a bug or a feature, but I don't see how possibly
this could be nasm's problem. Please disregard this bug report.
