Troubleshooting
Problem
When compiling on a POWER7 machine with the -S and -qarch=auto options in effect, the compiler fails to generate the assembly output. This problem also occurs when -S is used with -O4 or above on a POWER7, because -qarch=auto is turned on by default with -O4 or above.
Symptom
The following messages will be issued by the compiler:
(S) Unable to create .s file for test.c
(U) An error occurred during code generation. The code generation return code was 1.
