openssl fails with -ffast-math In my case this is visible with firefox or thunderbird, which both coredump.

Sorry, version is dev-libs/openssl-0.9.8c-r2
Sigh, over and over again - don't stick -ffast-math into your C[XX]FLAGS, it's a stupid global flag. man gcc: <snip> -ffast-math This option should never be turned on by any -O option since it can result in incorrect output for programs which depend on an exact implementation of IEEE or ISO rules/specifications for math functions. </snip>
ive got a great idea ... dont use -ffast-math globally
