--- Comment #1 from Andi Kleen <andi-gcc at firstfloor dot org> --- I'm not sure why you call it a regression? You must be running the test suite manually with the new option. I haven't tested, but likely it will fail if you run that test with -mcmodel=large too. The -mforce-indirect-call patch is really only a subset of -mcmodel=large. Then it would be more a latent bug.
