--- Comment #1 from Stephen Warren <swarren at nvidia dot com> 2012-01-30 22:47:27 UTC --- gcc-linaro 2012.01 has the same issue, although the code it generated was a little different. gcc-4.7 snapshot 20120128 appears to have the same issue. (I couldn't build the whole 4.7 compiler due to configure issues with GCC_NO_EXECUTABLES in the final phase, and hence couldn't link an application, but the cut-down gcc executables from the earlier build phases could compile to object files just not link. The disassembly of the .o files generated by those early-phase gccs indicate the same issue)
