gcc bug 9860 - addendum andf request for information

[rasmusl@eunet.no]

Hi - just tried to add an entry to bug 9860 at gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla
- silly me didn't realise I have to be a registered user...  ;-)

I do have a problem, though - I'm porting a customer's legacy
application from SCO OpenServer rel. 5 to Linux (guess why!  ;-)
and I'm running into the following problem:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to do exactly the same as the original reporter, ie.
to compile linux-abi for kernel 2.4.18, and getting:

sysi86.c: In function `svr4_sysi86':
sysi86.c:132: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
sysi86.c:132: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
sysi86.c:132: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
sysi86.c:132: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
sysi86.c:132: warning: dereferencing `void *' pointer
sysi86.c:132: Internal compiler error in `emit_move_insn_1', at expr.c:2829

Running on SlackWare 8.1 (kernel 2.4.18) with gcc version 2.95.3 20010315
to compile after linux-abi-2.4.18.0.patch. It doesn't matter whether i
compile it into the kernel or as modules.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Would be nice if you could add this as an additional comment to Bugzilla
- just for the record - or not - your call...

Any news on this bug? Workarounds? Fixes? ThanX!
