Bug 32675 – mozilla-thunderbird and -frename-registers in make.conf

• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description bryce verdier 2003-11-03 17:36:03 UTC]

my current CFLAGS are CFLAGS="-march=athlon-tbird -mcpu=athlon-tbird -Os -pipe
-fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math"

when i add "-frename-registers", all programs work just fine. HOWEVER, when i
tried to use mozilla-thunderbird, the program would build fine, and start fine.
But after about 3-4 seconds, the program would quit out. No errors to the
command line.

I realize that this is an issue with CFLAGS, and i don't expect this bug to get
fixed, but i'm just letting you guys know. If you can fix it... great... if
not... oh well.




Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.add -frename-registers to /etc/make.conf
2. emerge mozilla-thunderbird
3. start thunderbird... and watch

Actual Results:  
the program quit( no errors) unexpectedly

Expected Results:  
continued running until i tell it to quit

EDIT ebuild with:

filter-flags -frename-registers

perhaps?

Since this hasn't cropped up again, I'll close it for now, esp since newer versions of Thunderbird are now available.
