Yuck. We have POWER8 instructions in our assembly code, and a toolchain that doesn't understand the -mpower8 flag, but has support for power8 instructions. This is what I see on clang with -mpower7: /tmp/sstep-2afa55.s:7584: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lbarx' /tmp/sstep-2afa55.s:7626: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcx.' /tmp/sstep-2afa55.s:8077: Error: unrecognized opcode: `lharx' /tmp/sstep-2afa55.s:8140: Error: unrecognized opcode: `stbcx.' Nick: any suggestions? Thanks, Anton
