Sorry, but I was not able to figure out what intructions generate generate
that faulty assembler instruction sequence.  Now I have used gcc 4.7.0 to
compile emaces and I got other errors.  See output:

Is there any reason why -gcoff is used to compile the code in /src directory?
If I replace -gcoff with -g then all compilers I have tested are capable to
compile emacs.
