On my Linux/x86-64 system using --enable-checking=yes,rtl, I get a bootstrap failure since revision 144100 - revision was good 144099.
Difference between the two revisions is: +2009-02-11 Uros Bizjak <ubiz...@gmail.com> + Jakub Jelinek <ja...@redhat.com> + + PR target/39118 + * config/i386/i386.md (UNSPEC_MEMORY_BLOCKAGE): New constant. + (memory_blockage): New expander. + (*memory_blockage): New insn pattern. + * config/i386/i386.c (ix86_expand_prologue): Use memory_blockage + instead of general blockage at the end of function prologue when + frame pointer is used to access red zone area. Do not emit blockage + when profiling, it is emitted in generic code. + (ix86_expand_epilogue): Emit memory_blockage at the beginning of + function epilogue when frame pointer is used to access red zone area. ulimit -m 1000000 -v 1000000;/build/gcc/./prev-gcc/cc1 -fpreprocessed insn-recog.i -quiet -dumpbase insn-recog.c -mtune=generic -auxbase-strip insn-recog.o -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wcast-qual -Wold-style-definition -Wc++-compat -Wmissing-format-attribute -pedantic -Wno-long-long -Wno-variadic-macros -Wno-overlength-strings -Werror -version -fno-common -o insn-recog.s GNU C (GCC) version 4.4.0 20090217 (experimental) [trunk revision 144226] (x86_64-suse-linux-gnu) compiled by GNU C version 4.3.2 [gcc-4_3-branch revision 141291], GMP version 4.2.3, MPFR version 2.3.2.
