When I try to merge reiserfsprogs (any version), gcc reaches the misc.c file, then dies on line 192 with: misc.c: In function 'bad_stat64': misc.c:192: error: can't find a register in class 'BREG' while reloading 'asm' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use hardened stage1 tarball with my USE flags below 2. Build the system up (had same error in modutils, was instructed to install another package for that) 3. emerge reiserfsprogs and there you go. Actual Results: misc.c: In function 'bad_stat64': misc.c:192: error: can't find a register in class 'BREG' while reloading 'asm' Expected Results: Compiled and merged.

More of a toolchain error than base-system or hardened. There are several people from hardened on the toolchain team, though, so I won't CC either hardened or base-system to save everyone a few mails. This bug is also similar to #50127, and memtest86 also fails with this same error. Seems to be a commonality that's popping up.
Ron, What happening here is that the toolchian your using will not add inverse logic when filter-flags -fPIC is used. If you upgrade your gcc to >=3.3.3-r6 this error will go away for you. I've tested and it works if using a current stable toolchain so please update that before merging reiserfsprogs. Marking bug as invalid.
