Bug 119655 – lrmi-0.9 failes to compile using gcc 4.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Zhang Le (RETIRED) 2006-01-20 02:16:17 UTC]

cc -c  -O2 -march=pentium-m -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -o lrmi.o lrmi.c
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:712: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
{standard input}:723: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
make: *** [lrmi.o] Error 1

I think the cause of this error is
Using "movl" while the destination operand is %gs
Insteadof "movl", "movw" should be used here

I created a patch which can make lrmi compiles using gcc4.1

Not a problem with gcc-4.1  You are probably using a -* binutils.  Here is the upstream fix:
