If you get an error like that it should be: > reset_test.c:13.111: 0x1e43570 copy Internal compiler error: bad type passed > to copy The comma instead of the period is worrisome. So far everything has been done with a 32bit toolchain. So that may account for some of the differences. If romcc has problems as Ron suggests when it is a compiled with different compilers that is something needs to get fixed, as that is a very bad bug and not the kind I would expect to still remain in the code.
