             Bug #: 56903
           Summary: gcc is 4.8.0 fails to compile netdev.c from the linux
                    kernel [internal compiler error: Maximum number of LRA
                    constraint passes is achieved]
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: gdam...@gmail.com


I'm using 32bit ArchLinux (i686)
The gcc package version is 4.8.0-1

When compiling the latest Linux kernel 3.8.6 the compile fails with the
following error. With the help of other Arch users we concluded that it's due
to target processor beeing set to "Pentium M". It doesn't happen on 64bit Arch
Linuxes.

The error:

  CC [M]  drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.o
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c: In function ‘e1000_xmit_frame’:
drivers/net/ethernet/intel/e1000e/netdev.c:5159:1: internal compiler error:
Maximum number of LRA constraint passes is achieved (30)
