Ok, I 'synchronized' both of them, but now I am getting a different
error. On running make, the output ends with the following error:

I also tried using the gcc-4.2 compiler (by changing the value of the
environment variables CC and CXX), but got the same error.

Where am I going wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've run into this, too.  The problem is that the inliner pass uses a 30
bit integer to store the inline cost; the code that calculates the
inline cost generates a cost that is too large, and so you hit the
assertion.

I haven't yet distilled a test case for this yet (had some problems with
bugpoint for some mysterious reason), but I do have a work-around: go
into include/llvm/Transforms/Utils/InlineCost.h and make the following
change:


Index: InlineCost.h
==================================================================---
InlineCost.h        (revision 66848)
+++ InlineCost.h        (working copy)
@@ -37,8 +37,13 @@
       Never
     };

+#if 0
     int Cost : 30;
     unsigned Type :  2;
+#else
+    int Cost;
+    unsigned Type :  2;
+#endif

     InlineCost(int C, int T) : Cost(C), Type(T) {
       assert(Cost == C && "Cost exceeds InlineCost
precision");

Basically, you're changing the inline cost variable from 30 to 32 bits. 
After that, do a RELEASE build of LLVM and retry building llvm-gcc.

That worked like a charm. Thanks a lot!
