exult crashes when I launch it with any ultima data file but the serpentisle
version.

The crash occurs after a few screens, and results in a segmentation fault. Here
is the output in the terminal :

try it with just -pipe please.  exult seems to be very sensitive about which
flags are used.

        I have re-emerged it with the CFLAGS definition in make.conf
replaced with CFLAGS="-pipe" but it still uses -O2 (CXXFLAGS is also
"pipe"). There is something I do not understand here.

Here are the comopilation which are apparently used :

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I. -I./headers -I./imagewin -I./shapes         -I./server -I./data         -I./objs -I./conf -I./files -I./gumps   -I./audio -I./pathfinder -I./usecode        -I/usr/include/SDL -D_REENTRANT  -DXWIN         -O2 -Wno-long-long  -DEXULT_DATADIR=\"/usr/share/games/exult\"    -pipe -c ...

        And exult still crashes.

please try out exult-1.1.10_rc2

The new version, compiled with the optimiziation option O2 disabled worked fine
for me (at least the beginning of the game)

cool, re-open if it does start crashing on you then :)
