My current patchset, against 2.5.15-rc1, is running current Debian and FC4
filesystems without any apparent problems.

I thought that last time I failed to build it, Gentoo was to blame so I
tried again today on an amd64 FC4 host, and that worked for i386.
Again, I had to delete the empty files to get that far.

I also had to remove 3-level page tables option, otherwise I get this:
  HOSTCC  scripts/bin2c
  CC      init/main.o
In file included from include/asm/pgtable.h:30,
                 from include/linux/bootmem.h:7,
                 from init/main.c:30:
include/asm/pgtable-3level.h: In function ‘pud_clear’:
include/asm/pgtable-3level.h:74: warning: implicit declaration of
function ‘set_64bit’
  CHK     include/linux/compile.h
  UPD     include/linux/compile.h
(...) Lots more warnings about set_64bit... Then the build fails.


Any fix for the GCC errors on arch/um/include/sysdep/stub.h would be
much appreciated (I have to compile on these hosts to be able to use the
pcap network driver):
  CC      arch/um/kernel/skas/clone.o
arch/um/kernel/skas/clone.c: In function `stub_clone_handler':
arch/um/include/sysdep/stub.h:41: error: can't find a register in class
`BREG' while reloading `asm'
arch/um/include/sysdep/stub.h:62: error: can't find a register in class
`BREG' while reloading `asm'
arch/um/include/sysdep/stub.h:51: error: can't find a register in class
`BREG' while reloading `asm'
arch/um/include/sysdep/stub.h:84: error: can't find a register in class

make[2]: *** [arch/um/kernel/skas/clone.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [arch/um/kernel/skas] Error 2
make: *** [arch/um/kernel] Error 2

Or shall I bug the GCC guys?

Thanks
Antoine

I'm beginning to think that arch/um/kernel/skas/clone.c is cursed.

x86_64 or x86? The latter has almost never really worked well...

The problem is (seen on another report too): GCC hardened is compiling that 
code as PIE code (like PIC libraries), so it reserves EBX for usage of the 
GOT table (this is detailed in the SysV i386 ELF ABI docs).

Actually, I know a way to fix it, it's a bit of an hack but should work. 
(I.e., using again a "g" constraint for that parameter and adding a mov %n, 
%%ebx there - but then I should add a clobber for ebx, and maybe GCC could 
still complain).
