>Description:
When compiling the code shown in "How-To-Repeat" with optimization
and unroll-loops enabled, GCC 3.1 dies with an internal compiler
error.  The bug looks exactly the same in GCC 2.96 from Red Hat
Linux 7.2 and 7.3, but GCC 2.95.3 produces the following output:

foo.c: In function `foo':
foo.c:7: invalid `asm': invalid expression as operand
foo.c:8: invalid `asm': invalid expression as operand
foo.c:7: invalid `asm': invalid expression as operand
foo.c:8: invalid `asm': invalid expression as operand

The code compiles perfectly with all tested GCC versions when
"-funroll-loops" is not used.
>How-To-Repeat:
Compile with "gcc -c -O -funroll-loops foo.c".  Preprocessor
output follows:

# 1 "foo.c"
void
foo(char *dst, int w)
{
        int i;

        for (i = 0; i < 2; i++) {
                asm volatile ("movq %%mm0, %0\n" : "=X" (*(dst + w * 2)));
                asm volatile ("movq %%mm0, %0\n" : "=X" (*(dst + w * 2)));
                dst++;
        }
        asm volatile ("emms\n");
}
>Fix:
Work-around: Don't use -funroll-loops.
