Removing -fvia-C from the compiler options fixes the problem.

  • difficulty set to Unknown
  • milestone set to 6.12 branch

I'm afraid that I don't think that we'll fix this before -fvia-C and the mangler is removed in 6.12.

  • failure set to None/Unknown

The situation on the released 6.12.3 on a 7447A powerpc processor with Linux is: -fasm works, -fvia-C with unregistered build works, -fvia-C with normal build fails on trivial code with

  • status changed from new to closed

-fvia-C is now deprecated, and Linux PPC is not a tier 1 platform, so I'm closing this ticket.
