This with CXXFLAGS==CFLAGS, and No Other Flags Whatsoever. 1.4 rc3, and GCC 3.2.2 Please fix the install-script to suppress this one setting, AND notify the user who foolishly used it, AND log it in the install-instructions-page, AND maybe tell the relevant GCC developers what-it-is within the bootstrap.sh script that mixes with this in an evil way. I'm running a Thunderbird with 512MB Crucial RAM ( tested with memtest86.com's version 3.0 ), and so trust my system, but since this is provably repeatable, and limited to this one setting ( thus far, that I know of ), it's a SW bug. I don't know if it happens in other architectures ( is it a logic-bug or is it an architecture-bug? )
should we not set bootstrap to totally ignore CFLAGS? It's very obvious that giving users the ability to set this and a link to the gcc docs seems to make everyone an armchair expert and gives them the ability to break their system by adding -fidunnowhatthisdoesbutimaddingitcauseimcool
We now insert reasonable defaults and our docs recommend that these defaults are used. Closing bug.
