fixed or forbidden register spilled

Thought it might have been my home-brew patches to the sound
drivers for 2.1.5, or maybe an out of date C compiler and/or
libraries, but I'm still getting the subject error message
with the following hardware/software:

Pentium 133
kernel 2.1.5 source + ossfree37-beta4-linux (sound drivers)
GCC 2.7.2.1
libc 5.4.7

The exact error message is:

patmgr.c: In function 'pmgr_read':
patmgr.c:119: fixed or forbidden register was spilled.
This may be due to a compiler bug or to impossible asm
statements or clauses.
