--- Comment #7 from Andi Kleen <andi-gcc at firstfloor dot org> 2011-10-29 12:12:09 UTC --- Created attachment 25659 --> http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/attachment.cgi?id=25659 reproducer Managed to minimize now Unpack the tar file and on x86-64 % gcc47 -m32 -O2 -flto arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.i -c % gcc47 -m32 -O2 -flto arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.o In file included from :10:0: /home/ak/lsrc/git/linux-lto-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c: In function 'ioapic_read_entry': /home/ak/lsrc/git/linux-lto-2.6/arch/x86/kernel/apic/io_apic.c:397:35: internal compiler error: in tree_nrv, at tree-nrv.c:155 The strange thing is that it doesn't reproduce if you copy the .i file to another file name?!? And see also the weird ":10:0". Some memory corruption?
