[gentoo-alpha] gcc-3.4.4-r1 and kernel-2.4.30

[gentoo-alpha] gcc-3.4.4-r1 and kernel-2.4.30

[mathewt]

Hello All,

I switched to gcc-3.4.4-r1, rebuilt the tool-chain and was trying
to recompile the kernel (2.4.30)

gcc would always fail on arch/alpha/kernel/pci_iommu.c
the error message is

pci_iommu.c: In function `sg_fill':
pci_iommu.c:510: sorry, unimplemented: inlining failed in call to
 'sg_fill': recursive inlining
pci_iommu.c:558: sorry, unimplemented: called from here
make[1]: *** [pci_iommu.o] Error 1
make: *** [_dir_arch/alpha/kernel] Error 2
make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

gcc-3.3.2 seemed to handle this fine. has anyone hit the same issue
and is there a patch for this ?

thanks, Mathew

I had the same problems, I compiled everything with gcc-2.96 on a  
RedHat...

Confirmed. The problem appears with gcc-3.4.4-r1 (stable branch) and 
both, vanilla-sources 2.4.30 (stable) and 2.4.32 (testing).

I compiled everything with gcc-2.96 on a

Problem:
I think the problem is the way in which gcc-3.4.4 manage recursive 
inlining. sg_fill is an inline function which call itself and 3.4.4 
doesn't like that.

Status:
We have our gcc ninjas working on it, hope to have it fixed soon.

Workaround:
I think is only problem of gcc-3.4.4. I can compile it with gcc-3.3.2 
just fine. Since gcc is installed slotted, probably everyone who updated 
the gcc compiler can change it using gcc-config and compile the kernel 
with an old gcc (if needed).

Thanks guys for reporting.
