  • The correct syntax for gcc -x is "gcc -x assembler", not
    "gcc -xassembler". Even though the latter happens to work, the former
    is what is documented in the manual page and thus what gcc wrappers
    such as icecream do expect.

    This isn't a cosmetic change. The missing space prevents icecream from
    recognizing compilation tasks it can't handle, leading to silent kernel
    miscompilations.

    Besides me, credits go to Michael Matz and Dirk Mueller for
    investigating the miscompilation issue and tracking it down to this
    incorrect -x parameter syntax.
