I found a bug of ICE in gcc-4.4.3 on sh-elf. gcc-4.3 and gcc-4.5 does not have this problem.
$ gcc -O2 mtest01-k-e.c mtest01-k.c: In function emainf: mtest01-k.c:88: error: could not split insn (jump_insn 312 302 472 mtest01-k.c:64 (parallel [ (set (pc) (if_then_else (leu (reg/v:DI 12 r12 [orig:310 maxbytes ] [310]) (const_int 1073741824 [0x40000000])) (label_ref:SI 516) (pc))) (clobber (reg:SI 10 r10)) (clobber (reg:SI 147 t)) ]) 6 {cbranchdi4_i} (expr_list:REG_BR_PRED (const_int 49 [0x31]) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:SI 147 t) (expr_list:REG_UNUSED (reg:SI 10 r10) (expr_list:REG_BR_PROB (const_int 0 [0x0]) (nil)))))) mtest01-k.c:88: internal compiler error: in final_scan_insn, at final.c:2604 Please submit a full bug report, with preprocessed source if appropriate. See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.4/README.Bugs> for instructions. When I don't optimize it, it doesn't become the error. $ gcc-4.4 -v Using built-in specs.
