+Summary: Bug in libgc for ARM
+
+Description of Problem:
+
+The inline assembler code in libgc/include/private/gc_locks.h around
+line 226 seems to produce faulty code. With no optimizations my
+arm gcc (I've tried 4 different 3.x versions) produces an instruction in
+the form of swp r3,r2,[r3] which is illegal according to ARM reference manual.
+
+I'm not an expert on inline assembler, but I think it can be fixed by
+changing
+
+: "=r"(oldval)
+
+to
+
+: "=&r"(oldval)
