Which goes back to the old argument that 2.96 is a redhat-ism and not a
real compiler.
To date, no 2.96 version of gcc works properly on ARM, and I for one don't
have the expertise necessary to fix gcc myself. Do you recommend that I
stop all ARM work because of this? ;(
Anyway, the work around is a trivial one that I've already posted to the
list, including the necessary GCC version tests. Additionally David
Howells has posted a patch to remove the __builtin_expect stuff, so
this is a non-issue now.
