You copy and paste the failing commandline and add --save-temps, like e.g.:

        gcc -c -I/home/marcus/projects/wine/dlls/kernel32 -I. -I/home/marcus/projects/wine/include -I../../include  -D__WINESRC__ -D_KERNEL32_ -D_NORMALIZE_ -D_REENTRANT -fPIC -Wall -pipe -fno-strict-aliasing -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wempty-body -Wignored-qualifiers -Wstrict-prototypes -Wtype-limits -Wunused-but-set-parameter -Wwrite-strings -gdwarf-2 -gstrict-dwarf -Wpointer-arith -Wlogical-op -I/usr/include/freetype2    -Wall  -g -fstack-protector  -o console.o /home/marcus/projects/wine/dlls/kernel32/console.c -Og --save-temps

it will generate a console.i file in the currenct directory.

The console.i file and above commandline are a start for the gcc bug.

Ciao, Marcus

Looks like the bug is fixed and should be in for GCC 4.8.1. http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=56992
