Subject: potential gcc bug causes kvm-userspace build break
Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 19:10:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <49B7FE80.1010307@linux.vnet.ibm.com> (raw)

FYI

I just discovered a potential gcc bug which causes kvm-userspace builds 
to break.
I looks like it happens only with the latest fedora rawhide gcc 4.4
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=489753

The following patch circumvents this problem by just renaming R to REG.
People facing the same problem might find this patch useful.
