It's a bug in Apple GCC, as near as I can tell. It might be fixed in the most recent Apple patches to GCC 4.2, which have been posted at: http://www.opensource.apple.com/darwinsource/DevToolsMar2008/ gcc_42-5553/ I cobbled up a MacPorts port file that plops these patches on top of a "mainline" GCC 4.2.1 and builds C,C++, and Objective-C compilers.It's a horrid hack, but it works, and you don't have to have an ADC membership to get it, and it works on Tiger, as well as Leopard. (I say "might" because I'm not sure.. I'll have to check, as I'm not at my work machine right now.) The most recent versions of Apple-GCC-4.2.1 -- released with their iPhone developer kit -- fix this problem (at least on Intel)... note that the iPhone is an ARM platform (not Intel or PowerPC), but as a side-effect of updating the compiler for iPhone platform support, they fixed the inline-assembly. Now I'm after them to un-break gfortran after applying their Objective-C-2.0 patches... I'm not sure this helps, but I suggest anyone interested in GCC 4.2 on Mac to sign up for their (free) Apple ADC and (free) Apple iPhone SDK memberships, and download the iPhone SDK.
