[I found nothing in the FAQs so I'm posting this]

I just compiled and installed gcc 2.4.5 (which went fine except for some
enquire errors which make and I ignored).  Before recompiling The System I
would like to recompile my set of libraries.  But I get the following error in
file /usr/src/lib/libc/i386/gen/ldexp.c (line 60):

output constraint 0 must specify a single register

Having only a vague idea of what a constraint is and having absolutely no 386
asm knowledge, I would like to know how to get rid of this one and if there are
other things one must know before recompiling the whole stuff with gcc 2.4.5.

I am using 386BSD with pk 0.2.4.
