Yes, there is some bug that causes stuff in

#if defined(BLAH) || defined(BLAH0) || defined(BLAH1) || defined(BLAH2)

to be compiled even if all of the BLAHs are not defined under some
circumstances. It happens, for example, when trying the compiler with
itself using -O2 -mpentium -march=pentium -pipe -s -ffast-math
-fomit-frame-pointer on Linux.

1.1.1 - partially because of the bug I mentioned (which will hopefully be
fixed soon), and partially because of the asm changes. The snapshot can't
compile the Linux kernel because of them.
