You are right of cource. But everybody has a head on his shoulders to think
with ;-)

AFAIK Linus thinks&nbsp; egcs guys silently changed some concepts in inline
asm
<br>(clobber list) and now they are blaming the kernel. I can't say who
is right but it's obvious
<br>gcc and pgcc produced different inline asm code. I'm pretty sure they
shouldn't ;-)

I'm afraid i didn't understand this.

Right, I like pgcc and I&nbsp;wish to see it stable.
