We suppose that include/asm-i386/rwlock.h contains a bug.
Under some circumstances (compiling some external modules + no
optimization + SMP) it's possible to get the following error:
/tmp/ccw7qDe1.s: Assembler messages:
/tmp/ccw7qDe1.s:6815: Error: bad expression
/tmp/ccw7qDe1.s:6815: Error: missing ')'
/tmp/ccw7qDe1.s:6815: Error: missing ')'
/tmp/ccw7qDe1.s:6815: Error: junk `ebx))' after expression
We believe that it's a typo in include/asm-i386/rwlock.h
