- Help! I can no longer compile my kernel since I installed GCC 2.3.3 from
- sources.
-
- One week ago I installed linux 0.99.3 on top of SLS. All went fine, I made a
- new boot floppy and the system worked ok. Since then I installed GCC 2.3.3
- from GNU sources. Today I tried to install linux 0.99.4, but the compiler
- failed in kernel/fork.c and later in console.c. It seems unable to compile
- complicated ASM expressions. The strange thing: I reinstalled the compiler
- from gcc233.TZ, but the error stayed!
-
- The compiler is configured as i386-linux. Here is the error message:
-
- /linux/kernel #
- /linux/kernel # cc -c -v fork.c
- Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-linux/2.3.3/specs
- gcc version 2.3.3

- fork.c: In function `sys_fork':
- fork.c:164: fixed or forbidden register was spilled.
- This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm statements.

- Has anybody an idea what I may have done wrong?
