            Bug ID: 65264
           Summary: compare debug failure when using stdin
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: debug
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: trippels at gcc dot gnu.org

Building a Linux kernel on ppc64 with GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1 fails:
...
  LD      init/built-in.o
arch/powerpc/platforms/built-in.o(.toc+0x5e8): error: undefined reference to
'opal_tracepoint_refcount'
arch/powerpc/platforms/built-in.o(.toc+0x648): error: undefined reference to

Makefile:914: recipe for target 'vmlinux' failed
make: *** [vmlinux] Error 1

This happens because the kernel Makefile contains:
 779 # check for 'asm goto'                                                     
 780 ifeq ($(shell $(CONFIG_SHELL) $(srctree)/scripts/gcc-goto.sh $(CC)), y)    
 781         KBUILD_CFLAGS += -DCC_HAVE_ASM_GOTO                                
 782 endif 

markus@x4 linux % cat scripts/gcc-goto.sh
#!/bin/sh
# Test for gcc 'asm goto' support
# Copyright (C) 2010, Jason Baron <jbaron@redhat.com>

cat << "END" | $@ -x c - -c -o /dev/null >/dev/null 2>&1 && echo "y"
int main(void)
{
#if defined(__arm__) || defined(__aarch64__)
        /*
         * Not related to asm goto, but used by jump label
         * and broken on some ARM GCC versions (see GCC Bug 48637).
         */
        static struct { int dummy; int state; } tp;
        asm (".long %c0" :: "i" (&tp.state));
#endif

entry:
        asm goto ("" :::: entry);
        return 0;
}
END

This test always fails with GCC_COMPARE_DEBUG=1.

Only on ppc?

No, it is a general issue. Not sure how to fix it;
other than saving stdin to a tmp file in case of -fcompare-debug.
