Patch which solves the problem (probably needs to be renamed better)
In the description of your bug you posted the following: * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software. * Homepage: http://www.littlecms.com/ Did you already contacted the lcms developers regarding this issue?

Because this error will happen again... Just drop stricter from FEATURES and it will work. Maintaining such patches downstream just makes our life harder with no real benefit. So, please, show patch upstream, and make sure they apply it. I don't think they really opposed to fix build warning, but "random runtime failures" could really sound a little offensive for a good upstream. |
