current CVS version 'miscompiles' Linux kernel modules [1/2]

[Philipp Thomas]

If I compile the modules for 2.3.47, I get unresolved external references to
memcpy in some of them. This shouldn't happen, as the files in question do
include linux/string.h and thus get inline versions of __memcpy and suitable
defines. I've singled out one of the files. If I compile this with egcs
1.1.2 or gcc 2.95.2 everything is OK, compiled with current CVS
'nm --undefined-only' shows memcpy as external reference.

The preprocessed versions done by egcs 1.1.2 is attached here, the one
preprocessed by 2.96 follows in the next messages.

Could someone please have a look as to what the reason might be? I can only
guess that it's because of the string ops optimizations added lately.
