Can you show us line 19367 of the assembler output?

Which compiler version is it? M68k didn't update to gcc 4.5 yet?

Correct. This looks like a bug in gcc's m68k code generator.

I would like to reproduce the problem. The easiest approach would be when
you send us the preprocessor output of re_exec.c. Use the -E option for
that. Make sure the problem still occurs when compiling the output with:
  gcc -c -O2 -m68060 -pthread -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -fstack-protector
-DPIC -fPIC re_exec.i
