The invalid asm is related to Thread Local Storage and liburcu has a
compat layer that can be enabled at configure for platforms that don't
have it.
Last I checked, m68k does have TLS, though. It is a requirement for
recent versions of glibc, and although the m68k port was stuck on it for
a while, recent versions should have it.
In fact, when checking the generated asm code, it shows that the
nr_writes@TLSLE indirection is used in other locations too; but those
don't have the "+4" bit right after that. I suspect that's the problem.
(then again, trying to use gcc5 rather than gcc6 does not fix the issue,
so meh)
With './configure --disable-compiler-tls' the build succeeds and the
regression test suite completes without having to disable optimisations.
Well, that's good to know :-)
