K7/Athlon Optimization Causes Build Fail on Kernel 3.3 i686

[Trevor Turner]

Hi,
The other day when I was compiling 3.3 on my home server, enabling the
K7/Athlon familyÂoptimizations seems to cause the build to fail. It
fails without any erroneous output at the very end of the build and
has beenÂreproducibleÂevery time I've built with it enabled. This
machine has a pair of Athlon 2000+ MP's and I'm using Arch Linux's
makepkg system (which calls make localmodconfig, make nconfig, and
make -j3 bzImage modules) to build my kernels. I have experienced this
issue on both the stock -ARCH kernel, and the -CK kernel under a
number of different configurations.

This is a list of the situations I tested:
-CK Localmod only : Success
-CK Localmod, 100Hz Timer and No Pre-empt: Success
-CK Localmod, 100Hz Timer, No Pre-empt and K7: Failed
-CK Localmod and K7: Failed
-ARCH Localmod only: Success
-ARCH Localmod 100Hz timer and no Pre-empt : Success
-ARCH Localmod, 100Hz Timer, No Pre-empt and K7: Failed
-ARCH Localmod and K7 : Failed

This is the end of the output that it fails on:
