           Summary: gcc-4.0 doesn't like 2.6.10 drivers/acpi/ec.c
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: i386
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: linux
        AssignedTo: fabbione at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: jb at cs.wcu.edu
         QAContact: kernel-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


(system is current breezy)
in /src/linux:
make
.......

  CC      drivers/acpi/ec.o
drivers/acpi/ec.c: In function 'acpi_ec_gpe_query':
drivers/acpi/ec.c:520: error: label at end of compound statement

#gcc -v

gcc version 4.0.0 20050413 (prerelease) (Debian 4.0-0pre11)

Fails here (at the 'end:') unless the workaround is in place.
This area of code rewritten in 2.6.11, no dangling label.

        atomic_dec(&ec->pending_gpe);
end:
   (void)0;  //WORKAROUND --jb
}

  Don't have my K+R handy. Perhaps trailing labels were always illegal
and gcc-4 decided to get strict, or perhaps gcc-4 is busted.
There are other failures in drivers/acpi.
