Summary: x86-64: Tail call recursion optimization with
-mcmodel=large can generate invalid assembly
(immediate operand illegal with absolute jump)
Product: gcc
Version: 4.6.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: major
Priority: P3
Component: c
AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org

Compiler result using -save-temps
When using -mcmodel=large and -O3, a tail call to an extern function can
generate an invalid assembly like in the following example:
jmp *$memsetb
The correct assembly output should be perhaps:
jmp *memsetb
The problem can be worked around by adding the "-fno-optimize-sibling-calls"
option to the compiler command line.
