Description Chris Carlin 2002-12-21 06:16:02 UTC

I'd been having trouble with the courier-0.40.1 ebuild where, among other
things, maildrop would exit with strange errorcodes even though there was no
real error, screwing up the whole mail delivery process. I finally found a place
on the maildrop mailing lists where it was suggested that these false errors
were caused by compiler optimizations, specifically mentioning -fomit-frame-pointer.

After I rebuilt with only CFLAGS="-march=k6-2 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}",
taking off the -fomit-frame-pointer, everything is working fine. I suggest that
the ebuild needs to guard against this flag if possible.

If you need references to the specific posts on the mailing list I'll go track
them down...

I have added the flag filter to courier-0.40.1

Compiler optimization causes more trouble in more places.
