Compiling the Midnight Commander with malign-double results in a broken version of Midnight. This are the effects i saw: - all files have a size of 160GB - open a file with <F3> leaves the screen blank, although the file contains some bytes Compiling mc without malign-double works fine. Maybe it is possible the filter this flag? Greets from germany and happy x-mas Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Please don't. `-malign-double' is a flag that affects struct sizes and either has to be used everywhere or nowhere (see `info gcc'). Since there is no way to apply it to binary packages and other packages (glibc) filter it implicitely, the only way is to use it nowhere. Only packages that work with `-malign-double' don't use structs with members of said type or by some coincidence doubles are already aligned at proper boundaries...in any case, it does not make a difference.
since there are several packages that filter -malign-double i'll also add it to mc, but keep in mind that it is not officially supported by gentoo
