This line C line in fs/ext2/balloc.c:
gdp->bg_free_blocks_count =
cpu_to_le16(le16_to_cpu(gdp->bg_free_blocks_count) - 1);

Is miscompiled whith gcc 2.8.1, and I get: gdp>bg_free_blocks_count=-1,
whatever the value is!
I tried the compiler used by RedHat for PowerPC (a prereleased of egcs
1.0.2), and this new
compiler give the right result.

If you know the most reliable version of gcc to compile linux on
PowerPC, and how to make
a cross compiler of GCC-2.9.5 for powerpc on an intel box le me know.

Thanks
