This seems to be a problem with sparc64 platforms in general (I'm not
sure Sven's problem is related - it might be, though).  Attempts to
build 4.8.0rc1 on some systems at the gcc compile farm fail,
specifically gcc64 (OpenBSD), which is known to be broken and fails in
various situations (but not consistently) and gcc62 (Ubuntu), which
fails in a similar manner as you desribe above. Both are sparc64
machines. Sorry, no solution in sight right now.
