reassign 648016 gcc-4.6
found 648016 4.6.2-4
thanks

This bug really is in gcc-4.6, because it is currently the default sid 
gcc and it is used to (mis)compile src/build/genrecog.c during 
gcc-avr build, which later crashes. I'm fairly certain that this is 
gcc problem, because if the binary is compiled with -O0, the problem 
goes away. All debugging output below was obtained on a sparc machine 
running up-to-date sid, invoking build/genrecog under gdb with a 
single argument of '../../src/gcc/config/avr/avr.md'.

Tracing the execution is somewhat tricky, since failure happens within 
write_tree(), and most of the functions write_tree() calls 
(write_tree_1, write_switch, write_node, write_action, etc) are
optimized out. The output generated by 

build/genrecog ../../src/gcc/config/avr/avr.md

is the same as the one produced on an amd64 system until we hit the 
following code in genrecog.c/write_switch(): 

  else if (type == DT_mode
       || type == DT_veclen
       || type == DT_elt_zero_int
       || type == DT_elt_one_int
       || type == DT_elt_zero_wide_safe)
    {
      const char *indent = "";

      /* We cast switch parameter to integer, so we must ensure that the value
     fits.  */
      if (type == DT_elt_zero_wide_safe)
    {
      indent = "  ";
      printf("  if ((int) XWINT (x%d, 0) == XWINT (x%d, 0))\n", depth, depth);
    }
      printf ("%s  switch (", indent);
      switch (type)
    {
    case DT_mode:
      printf ("GET_MODE (x%d)", depth);
      break;
    case DT_veclen:
      printf ("XVECLEN (x%d, 0)", depth);
      break;
    case DT_elt_zero_int:
      printf ("XINT (x%d, 0)", depth);
      break;
    case DT_elt_one_int:
      printf ("XINT (x%d, 1)", depth);
      break;
    case DT_elt_zero_wide_safe:
      /* Convert result of XWINT to int for portability since some C
         compilers won't do it and some will.  */
      printf ("(int) XWINT (x%d, 0)", depth);
      break;
    default:
      gcc_unreachable ();
    }

The problem appears after executing the 

printf ("%s  switch (", indent);

statetement. It looks like compiler generates a number of small stubs 
within write_tree() for calling printf with all possible format 
statements. Here's how the generated assembler code looks for this 
particular one, starting at 0x00013e60:

Dump of assembler code from 0x13e40 to 0x13ea0:

End of assembler dump.

Confirmation that 0x1eab0 contains the correct format statement 
(passed to printf in %o0):

(gdb) printf "%s\n", (char *) 0x1eab0
%s  switch (
(gdb)

A remarkable feature of this stub is that it does not have a return 
branch statement, like others do (see 0x00013e54, for example). So, 
instead of returning to the correct location where the stub was 
invoked in write_switch(), we fall through to 0x00013e74, and start 
executing the next stub, which invokes printf with a format 
statement at 0x1ebe8 (== 0x1e800 | 0x3e8):

(gdb) printf "%s\n", (char *) 0x1ebe8
%sreturn gen_split_%d (insn, operands);

(gdb) 

This is completely unrelated code, normally invoked by 
write_action(), line 2182. Once it's done, we jump back to completely 
wrong location at 0x00013e8c, eventually causing a crash.
