             Bug #: 54983
           Summary: ARM gcc creates invalid assembly: bad immediate value
                    for 8-bit offset (1024)
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.3
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: hechtb@gmail.com

Includes a .config to build the v3.7-rc1 kernel and the --save-temps file

The bug appeared on new linux ARM kernel versions and I cite here a kernel
maintainer responding to my patch submission:

"Hi, I used to be able to compile MTD stuff for mackerel board with the
defconfig attached, but now it fails with 3.7-rc1 with as error:

/tmp/cc2Nr7AN.s: Error: bad immediate value for 8-bit offset (1024)

It fails for dogc4.c, but if I disable DOCG4, it fails for other drivers
with a similar error.

I've tried (arm) gcc 4.6.3 and the latest Linaro 4.7 build."

In order to reproduce the bug, please get a repository of the kernel and
checkout "v3.7-rc1" and use the attached .config. The bug happens when building
the modules. I'm sorry but I see no way figuring out all the dependencies of a
kernel build to supply a more compact way to test this. I used 

make -j16 ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-gnueabi- modules

and get the error:

/tmp/ccwLMdCy.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccwLMdCy.s: Error: bad immediate value for 8-bit offset (2048)
make[3]: *** [drivers/mtd/nand/docg4.o] Error 1
