I think we should escalate the bug. Maybe the gcc maintainers wake up
;-) If we don't find a solution we can compile with gcc-4.3 in a later
upload.

I found another problem. The build of alsa-source doesn't work
properly with Debian headers. We have two different header dirs:

/lib/modules/$KVERS/build -> /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-trunk-powerpc/
/lib/modules/$KVERS/source -> /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-trunk-common/

alsa-source doesn't use both even when I compile with
--with-kernel=/lib/modules/$(KVERS)/source
and
--with-build=/lib/modules/$(KVERS)/build

The build works fine if /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-trunk-common
is merged into /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.32-trunk-powerpc/.
Platform independent. Do you have an idea?
