Compiler lacks asm go-to support

Compiler lacks asm go-to support

[Bhanusree Pola]

Hi all,

I have cloned kernel from 
git clone -b staging-testing git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging
while configuring the following error is shown

arch/x86/Makefile:184: *** Compiler lacks asm-goto support..  Stop.

I have tried all possible debugging with the help of internet,but could
not solve the problem.

Please help me in this regard

Thanks & regards,
Bhanusree Pola

You're using an ancient gcc (older than gcc 4.5) or some other compiler that
doesn't support goto a C label inside an asm() statement.
