Hi-
I'm trying to fix the sysutils/toshutils package for someone without
the benefit of actually having a Toshiba laptop to test things on, and
the issue seems to be in some inline assembly code which is treated
differently in gcc 3.X from gcc 2.95; this pkg has been broken
for quite a while. :)
Anyone have a hint how I should, perhaps, patch this? The error in question
is:
sci.c: In function `SciSupportCheck':
sci.c:91: error: impossible constraint in `asm'
*** Error code 1
...and the code which produces this error is:
asm ("pushl %%eax\n\t" \
"pushl %%ebx\n\t" \
"pushl %%ecx\n\t" \
"movw $0xf1f1,%%ax\n\t" \
"movw $0x0000,%%bx\n\t" \
"movw $0x0000,%%cx\n\t" \
"inb $0xb2,%%al\n\t" \
"movb %%ah,%0\n\t" \
"popl %%ecx\n\t" \
"popl %%ebx\n\t" \
"popl %%eax\n" \
:"=m" (ah) : : "memory" );
Hints gratefully accepted...
Thanks,
+j
