Correct.
The pig in trying to build u-boot 2004.04 with Clang/XDEV is the use of
#define DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR register volatile gd_t =
*gd asm ("r9=94)
which means =93gd is an alias for the r9 register and is a pointer to =
type =85=94
=85 I think. :-)
Clang doesn=92t like this one bit. First objection is to =93global =
register variables=94, so if I experimentally knock out the =93register=94=
, I simply get the second objection - to "multiple instances of the r9 =
global variable=94.
Googling a bit suggests that Clang just plain can=92t do this. :-(
