Hm, 32 bit x86...

I built 4.8.1 yesterday, so can now build x86_64 tip, but I suspect I'll
not be the only one with a compiler that goes belly up.

net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c: In function ‘xs_setup_tcp’:
net/sunrpc/xprtsock.c:2844:1: internal compiler error: in move_insn, at haifa-sched.c:2353

gcc-4.6.2 (opensuse 12.1) has happily chewed up humongous piles of
source, but finds this asm goto stuff to be toxic.
