michael_d writes in #1874:
On an i386 platform with no rt_sigsuspend syscall (ie: Linux 2.0), compilation will halt on libc/sysdeps/linux/common/sigsuspend.os with a cryptic error message:
"Error: non-constant expression in ".if" statement"
I've investigated and found that the cause is that a literal '0' is being passed into a block of complex assembler macrology that is only prepared to deal with register names - '%eax', etc.
In turn, that seems to be because of a typo in the GCC register constraints. The constraints for 2 and 3-argument syscalls includes a "C" constraint. To gcc, "C" means an SSE floating point constant -- an unlikely element in a syscall. I suspect the author meant to type "S" (%esi).
