I'm running gcc (SUSE Linux) 4.7.2 20130108 [gcc-4_7-branch revision 195012] which is basically the one from openSUSE 12.3 for ppc64. I've also uploaded 2 builds, one with the patch applied (broken) and one without (works): http://csgraf.de/agraf/current_thread_info/vmlinux.broken.xz http://csgraf.de/agraf/current_thread_info/vmlinux.works.xz Interestingly enough I did not see this on IBM POWER systems, but maybe that's because most of them compile their own kernels with local, different compilers in my test runs and the only one that does base on the same compiler doesn't run on nfsroot. My iBook G4 target is affected by this as well and reverting this patch also makes it work again. Maybe we're just running over some stack?
