Installing grub-0.97-r3 with FEATURES="stricter" will not succeed because grub dereferences type-punned pointers. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. FEATURES="stricter" emerge "=sys-boot/grub-0.97-r3" Actual Results: The package builds and runs its tests fine, but when it is to be merged to the system, it fails with a "QA Notice: Package has poor programming practices which may compile fine but exhibit random runtime failures." Expected Results: These warnings should not occur allowing the package to install with FEATURES="stricter". The usual solution for this warning is to remove the case causing the problem and use a union instead to allow access to the same location with different types.
Are you going to post the emerge output, or are we supposed to guess?
