This appears to be a gcc bug when -fno-omit-stack-pointer is used (which we mostly don't need on ppc anyway except that another gcc stupidity makes it mandatory for -pg which ftrace needs). We're working on a two fold workaround: removing -fno-omit-stack-pointer in all the cases where we don't really need it, and for when we do (ie, CONFIG_FTRACE becaues of -pg), using -mno-sched-epilog which seems to work around it. The root cause in gcc hasn't been fully identified yet.
