I've excluded this topic branch from tip:master for > now. I can't trigger it here. Stab in the dark: It could be an old binutils issue since gas can't swallow the macro definition. If you're building on a RHEL system, it could be that the ":req" macro argument specification is not supported by that particular version of the gnu assembler as http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-4-Manual/gnu-assembler/macro.html doesn't state anything on required macro arguments. Try removing the ":req" part if the op macro argument to see whether it builds. If so, ":req" is not absolutely necessary and we can do away without it. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
