[Bug inline-asm/16346] New: powerpc64 inline assembly causes an ICE

[anton at samba dot org]

I compiled a 3.5 powerpc64 toolchain from cvs (20040703) and found it ICED when
compiling a linux kernel. It turns out we had some weird inline assembly. A
cut down testcase is:

int main()
{
        long *foo;
        asm volatile("nop": "=m"(*foo): "m"(foo));
}

# /usr/local/ppc64-3.5/bin/powerpc64-linux-gcc -O2 -c testcase.c
testcase.c: In function `main':
testcase.c:2: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.

Changing it to "m"(*foo) (which is what we want) fixes the ICE.
