Bug#433629: gcc-4.2: breaks linux kernel usbhid

Package: gcc-4.2
Version: 4.2-20070707-1
Severity: normal

On Monday ("Mon Jul 16 10:39:51 2007"), I compiled
the linux kernel
version 2.6.22+git-e904e31ddef89e03f9f45f255a63803dbe708645
(that's a version from the wireless-dev tree on
git.kernel.org) and
used it until today. According to the dpkg log, I upgraded
my gcc
later yesterday:
2007-07-16 19:14:07 upgrade gcc-4.2 4.2-20070707-1
4.2-20070712-1

Today then, I wanted to compile a new kernel later git and
USB HID
stopped working. Thinking that the problem lies in the
kernel I
started to bisect only to find that the problem is not in
the kernel,
in fact using the same sources I compiled yesterday morning
don't
work with gcc-4.2-20070712-1.

Going back to gcc-4.2-20070707-1 however didn't make it work
again
so I guess that the usbhid module wasn't rebuilt with the
070707
version because I hadn't completely rebuilt the kernel, the
new
compile where it started failing was a complete rebuild. For
now
I've gone back to 4.1.2-13 which works perfectly with the
same
sources.
I'm filing the bug against 070707 but it is well possible
that
earlier versions are affected as well.

Symptoms of usbhid not working are:
 * usbhid loaded before ohci-hcd: no input devices show up
 * usbhid loaded after ohci-hcd: system hangs when loading
usbhid

I haven't been able to debug further as my powerbook only
allows
for USB input devices.
