Description jms 2011-03-20 20:38:40 UTC
well not sure how to put this 
but diffutils-2.8.7-r2 has problem to compile with gcc 4.5 (it will hang ) see Bug 340923
has in bug 340923 Ryan Hill suggested filling a stabilization bug here I am.
In my opinion the stable version of diffutils should't be stable has it will stop compiling with at least gcc-4.5.* (for me 4.5.2 ).
suggest adding the patch from Bug 340923 or choose another version to stabilze.




Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
stable package should compile without problem independently of compiler version

the curent stable one has Bug 340923.
Comment 2 jms 2011-03-20 21:09:04 UTC
hum I though my whole system was stable.
well stable version of gcc is gcc-4.4.5 so I guess my request for stabilization will be invalid.

nevertheless it would be nice to have a stable version of diffusion which play nicely with gcc-4.5.

I leave this open waiting to have a dev having a look at it to see if this can be addressed or close this bug
