--- Comment #2 from Alan Modra <amodra at gmail dot com> --- Actually, there is a change in powerpc gas that might be the trigger for this sort of problem. The ".machine" assembler directive when given a cpu now disables the effect of -many on the command line or in a previous ".machine". If that is the cause, this is still a kernel bug. If you use power7 instructions after ".machine power4" say, gas is correct to complain. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
