Subject: powerpc: raid6 (raid6int8) compilation error

Since 2.6.15-rc6, and continuing through 2.6.15-mm2, I get the following
error when compiling a kernel with gcc 3.4.4 on a power5 with RHEL4U1
installed and uptodate:

drivers/md/raid6int8.c: In function `raid6_int8_gen_syndrome':
drivers/md/raid6int8.c:185: error: unable to find a register to spill in
class `FLOAT_REGS'
drivers/md/raid6int8.c:185: error: this is the insn:
(insn:HI 619 621 640 4 (set (mem:DI (plus:DI (reg/v/f:DI 122 [ p ])
(reg/v:DI 66 ctr [orig:124 d ] [124])) [0 S8 A64])
(reg/v:DI 129 [ wp0 ])) 320 {*movdi_internal64} (nil)
(expr_list:REG_DEAD (reg/v:DI 129 [ wp0 ])
(nil)))
drivers/md/raid6int8.c:185: confused by earlier errors, bailing out
CC [M] drivers/md/raid6altivec4.o

2.6.14-rc5 does not give this error...

.config is attached.

thanks,

This is an internal error in gcc.
You should report this as a bug in gcc to RedHat.
