strange compile problem

[John Barry <jbarry@eso.org>]

Hi,

I'm getting this error when I try to build binutils-2.9.5.0.12 with gcc-2.95.1
(compiled for/on a native utrasparc running Solaris 2.6)

SunOS xxx 5.6 Generic_105181-05 sun4u sparc

gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../binutils-2.9.5.0.12/gprof -I. -D_GNU_SOURCE -DDEBUG -I../bfd -I../../binutils-2.9.5.0.12/gprof/../include -I../../binutils-2.9.5.0.12/gprof/../bfd -I../../binutils-2.9.5.0.12/gprof/../intl -I../intl -DLOCALEDIR="\"/apps/gnu2/share/locale\""  -I/usr/openwin/include -I/usr/dt/include -I/apps/include -I/apps/gnu/include -I/apps/X11R6/include -I/apps/gnome/include -I/apps/kde/include -I/apps/ImageMagick/include  -O3 -funroll-loops -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -c ../../binutils-2.9.5.0.12/gprof/hist.c
/var/tmp/ccUupNBD.s: Assembler messages:
/var/tmp/ccUupNBD.s:1963: Error: Illegal operands
/var/tmp/ccUupNBD.s:1986: Error: Illegal operands

*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `hist.o'
Current working directory /apps/jbarry/gnu/gcc/bin-build/gprof

This error goes away if I remove the optimisation flag  completeley, (even
with -O it still give me assembler errors) but I have my doubts about the 
correctness of the code produced in this manner.

This error is reproducable on my system with both a full build:

#!/bin/sh
# This file was generated automatically by configure.  Do not edit.
# This directory was configured as follows:
../binutils-2.9.5.0.12/configure --host=sparc-sun-solaris2.6 --prefix=/apps/gnu2
 --enable-shared --enable-static --enable-bfd-assembler --enable-commonbfdlib --
enable-64-bit-bfd --with-included-gettext --enable-targets=all --enable-multilib
 --enable-threads=posix --with-cpu=ultrasparc --norecursion 
# using "mh-frag" and "mt-frag"

and with a seperate config in the gprof dir thus:

# configure  --prefix=/apps/gnu2 --enable-shared --enable-static --with-included
-gettext --with-x --x-includes=/usr/openwin/include --x-libraries=/usr/openwin/l
ib

I'm including the compile flags -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64
as recommended by Sun to ensure the apps are compliant with 2.6's 64 file
system, it make no difference if I take them out or not, the only thing that
affects it is -O (or not...)

as and ld are gnu-as & gnu-ld from binutils-2.9.1, but I've been getting screwy
errors out the compiler for a few days so I decided to see if upgrading
binutils would help...

I didn't have these problems with the egcs-1.1.2 release, any ideas?

later
