As far as we understand this is a bug in SuSE version of gcc.  This
works fine with gcc-3.3.6.  Either try to build with another version of
gcc, or try to reduce the optimisation, by editing Olinux-i686/Makefile
and changing:
CFLAGS     = -O3 ...
to
CFLAGS     = -O2 ...

If it still does not work try
CFLAGS     = -O0 ...
and remove '-fomit-frame-pointer'.

The compiler produce assembly that the assembler do not understand.
Looking at /tmp/ccRE9vHb.s line 17314 might be instructive.

Cheers,
