Which compiler/binutils are you running over there?

	static inline unsigned long native_get_debugreg(int regno)
	{
		unsigned long val = 0; 	/* Damn you, gcc! */
	
		switch (regno) {
		case 0:
			asm("movl %%db0, %0" :"=r" (val)); break;
		case 1:
			asm("movl %%db1, %0" :"=r" (val)); break;
		case 2:
			asm("movl %%db2, %0" :"=r" (val)); break;
		case 3:
			asm("movl %%db3, %0" :"=r" (val)); break;
		case 6:
			asm("movl %%db6, %0" :"=r" (val)); break;
		case 7:
			asm("movl %%db7, %0" :"=r" (val)); break;
		default:
-->			BUG();
		}
		return val;
	}

weird.

There are no significant changes in processor.h relative to 2.6.22-rc1.

If the file-n-line aren't screwed up, it's disliking

#define BUG()								\
	do {								\
		asm volatile("1:\tud2\n"				\
			     ".pushsection __bug_table,\"a\"\n"		\
			     "2:\t.long 1b, %c0\n"			\
			     "\t.word %c1, 0\n"				\
			     "\t.org 2b+%c2\n"				\
			     ".popsection"				\
			     : : "i" (__FILE__), "i" (__LINE__),	\
			     "i" (sizeof(struct bug_entry)));		\
		for(;;) ;						\
	} while(0)

and we haven't changedanything in there recently either.

It built and ran 2.6.22-rc1-git4 happily.
