The update R7B-4 is released

[Kent Boortz]

OS X is still not part of our daily test and build and this time I had
no time to manually build and run on OS X (busy with R8). But the
error you get is not a syntax error and looks more like an internal
error from the assembler/compiler/linker. I haven't seen this error
message or anything similar before but will try to find time to do a
build myself.
