Hi, Jakub Jelinek of gcc and glibc fame fixed inline asm in padlock support code. His patch and explanation is available at http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=34725#c4 . I tested the patch and it works. Regards, ismail -- Never learn by your mistakes, if you do you may never dare to try again.
