So there is no other way than fixing it GCC. I guess it is a continuation of work to use PIC hard reg by introducing PIC pseudo. PIC pseudo should conflict with PIC hard reg because ebx can be corrupted in this case. So in general your solution proposal is right but it needs more details. I will work on the patch and commit it on next week. Thanks.
