You probably need to upgrade your binutils. On my machine:

$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/as
binutils-2.9.1.0.23-1 

$ strings /usr/bin/as | grep movntps
movntps 

movntps is a PIII instruction. If you have the right binutils and your
program is still not compiling, then you need to check the syntax and
the names of the PIII registers.
