------- Comment #20 from meissner at linux dot vnet dot ibm dot com 2009-05-18 23:48 ------- David, as I said in my message, this patch is just papering over the problem. While we might want to install this patch temporarily, to get the mips and rs6000 building again, I think a better solution is to change the circular dependency between FRAME_GROWS_DOWNWARD and flag_stack_protect, so at the point of the test in toplev.c the compiler won't give this warning.
H. J. the problem with your patch is it that the compiler is likely to still issue the warning, since it will be discovered by the dataflow or SSA parts of the compiler. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=40172
