Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: 2.6.16
Distribution: Fedora
Hardware Environment: i386
Software Environment:
Problem Description:
When building with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC the kernel fails with the following
message,
arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.c:1: error: bad value (generic) for -mtune= switch

With gcc version 4.1.2. If I compile anything else with -mtune=generic it won't
have this error. I narrowed it down to gcc failing with -mtune=generic and the
-S option.

for instance, if foo.c is "void main(void) { }"
and you compile with "gcc -S -mtune=generic foo.c -o foo" It fails. Removing -S
and it compile fine ..
