ICE using va_list with -g -femit-struct-debug-baseonly

[Arnd Bergmann]

Doing test kernel builds with arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.4.4-8ubuntu1hrw1) 4.4.5 20100728 (prerelease), I found that
I could not build with '-g -femit-struct-debug-baseonly', which resulted in an ICE when compiling stdarg.h or any other file containing '__builtin_va_list':

arnd@ocdc-kvm:/tmp$ echo 'typedef __builtin_va_list x;' > test.c
arnd@ocdc-kvm:/tmp$ arm-linux-gnueabi-gcc -g -femit-struct-debug-baseonly test.c -c
test.c:1: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault
Please submit a full bug report,
with preprocessed source if appropriate.
See <file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-4.4/README.Bugs> for instructions.

Not sure if the bug requires __builtin_va_list, since I was not able to anything complex without including stdarg.h.

[Lacombar (lacombar)]

the following test-case:

#ifndef __GNUC_VA_LIST
#define __GNUC_VA_LIST
typedef __builtin_va_list __gnuc_va_list;
#endif

triggers the following ICE:

% /arm-none-linux-eabi/libexec/gcc/arm-none-linux-eabi/4.5.2/cc1 -v ./test-case.c -g -femit-struct-debug-baseonly -o ./test-case.o

It also ICEs current gcc-4.4 and gcc-4.6.

Can this now be marked as being closed ?
