This actually is a 'rare' bug that will turn up under certain situations while compiling. I looked it up a while ago and tried to understand it. I have this problem on one of my machines, but it's not a big deal for me since it's not my server machine and i can still compile else where.
If you google 'PIC register bx clobbered in asm', you'll see what I mean.
This is one example of this problem and how they solved it.

Line 112 in crc32.cpp seems to point to an earlier problem of this sort'

Quote:

#undef i386 //darwin seems to think we are generating PIC, and we clobber ebx

I can downgrade my GCC to version 3.3.6 and this problem will go away, so it must be GCC related too.

I also noticed sometimes I would get one good compile, then it would start with the 'clobbered' BS.
