attempting to build a package which tests a bunch of inline assembly snippets
to see if the host supports it ... in this case, this snippet caused a hang:
lantank # cat conftest.c
int main() {
unsigned long foo;
asm("pklb %1, %0" : "=r" (foo) : "rI" (foo));
return 0;
}
lantank # gcc -v -c conftest.c
