--- Comment #9 from Mikael Pettersson <mikpe at it dot uu.se> --- (In reply to Ralf Baechle from comment #8) > FWIW, I'm also hitting the same compiler bug with vanilla GCC 4.7.2 and > 4.8.0 compiling a heavily patched 3.4 kernel with LTO for a mips64-linux > target. Please upload a pre-processed test case. Since you're getting this with gcc-4.7.2 it's presumably not caused by r193539 as comment #1 indicated. Have you tried gcc trunk, just to see if it's been fixed there?
