Since we haven't done any serious changes to the inline code recently I would put my bets on a gcc bug, so I'm putting the SDE people at MIPS on Cc. It could be useful if you could post your .config kernel configuration file. Also, which kernel version exactly are you building? The command "git-describe HEAD" will tell you something like "linux-2.6.15-g68cabd8e", can you post that number? > Would someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

We try hard - but the number of tools and configuration variants makes it hard to ensure that kind of thing never happens. Ralf
