Hi Using a cross compiled gcc for PowerPC-CPUs: powerpc-eabi-gcc.exe --version powerpc-eabi-gcc.exe (crosstool-NG-1.8.2) 4.5.2 I'm having a problem compiling some inline assembler code. This works with older compilers but 4.5 doesn't like it. register uint32 uFlags asm("r20") = 0; asm volatile ("mr 31,%0": : "r" (uFlags) : "31"); Compiling unoptimized I get file.cpp:3271:1: error: 31 cannot be used in asm here Compiling with -O2 works. Seems like this problem is already old (2006): https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple;id=133948 http://www.stackless.com/pipermail/stackless/2006-August/002415.html Is there a solution apart from -fomit-frame-pointer or "don't do this"? Thanks bye Fabi
