Regrettably, this would appear to be a confirmed bug sighting. I've
got a complete set of sound driver patches ready to submit, but can't
(won't) do so until I perform at least minimal testing. Following the
evolution (degeneration?) of copy_to_user() into a macro in 2.1.4, I
can no longer compile linux/drivers/sound/patmgr.c. The sequencer.c
source file in the same directory causes similar compiler distress.
Note that for both source files mentioned above, manually compiling
the files without optimization allows the compile to proceed.
Unfortunately, in the case of sequencer.c, the resulting object code
is incorrect and results in several undefined symbols when vmlinux is
built. I say that the object code is incorrect because the undefined
symbols are clearly defined by inspection (and by comparison with
several similar source files).
Is this an "old" bug that is fixed by upgrading gcc to 2.7.2.1?
