h8300-elf compiler failure with -fprofile-arcs

["D.Venkatasubramanian, Noida" <dvenkat at noida dot hcltech dot com>]

Hi All,

I was trying to compile a small program 

int main()
{
        return 0;
}

by using an h8300-elf cross compiler built on a x86 platform. 

[venkat@peacock bugfix]$ h8300-elf-gcc -v
Reading specs from
/home/venkat/gcc_release/h8300-elf/tools/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/h8300-elf/3.1.1/
specs
Configured with: /export/niting/WorkArea/gcc-release/src/configure
--target=h8300-elf --enable-languages=c,c++
--prefix=/home/venkat/gcc_release/h8300-elf/tools/ --with-newlib
--with-gnu-ld --with-gnu-as
Thread model: single
gcc version 3.1.1

On compiling this program with 'h8300-elf-gcc -fprofile-arcs test.c' I got
an internal compiler error

test.c:6: Internal compiler error in end_final, at final.c:267

On preliminary investigation it seems that it is a assertion failure, 
      if (long_bytes != pointer_bytes)
        abort ();

due to the fact that long_bytes is being set to 4, while pointer_bytes is
set to 2.

I didn't find the same problem with other variants of H8300-elf, if we add a
'-mh' or '-mint32 -mh' the two variables are set to 4.

Could someone point me on how this could be fixed? Is this a known problem?

Thanks and best regards,

Venky
