Bug#242916: gcc-3.3: GCC 3.3 crashes when assembling ARM Linux 2.6.5 kernel

[Peter Naulls <peter@chocky.org>]

Package: gcc-3.3
Version: 1:3.3.3-6
Severity: normal



GCC 3.3 crashes when performing the following when compiling the 2.6.5 kernel
with RMK's patches (RiscPC target):

gcc -Wp,-MD,arch/arm/boot/compressed/.ll_char_wr.o.d -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude  
-D__KERNEL__ -Iinclude  -D__ASSEMBLY__ -mlittle-endian -mapcs-32 -D__LINUX_ARM_ARCH__=3 -march=armv3 
-mtune=strongarm110 -msoft-float -Wa,-mno-fpu -traditional   -c -o arch/arm/boot/compressed/ll_char_wr.o 
arch/arm/boot/compressed/ll_char_wr.S
cc1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions

The problem appears to be this line:

#define PLD(code...)

On line 55 of include/asm/assembler.h

Work around is to use GCC 2.95 for this file.
