While emerging app-mobilephone/obexpushd-9999 from the my wtk overlay I ran into:

This seems to be the same as Debian's 661879 [1], which they fixed by patching bluez [2].

I can confirm that the patch does fix the issue for me.

The patch made it into the upstream mailing list back in March, but doesn't seem to be included in their repository yet.  I've bumped them, and will report back on what I hear.

It could be a gcc bug per:

[Comment 5 Tiziano Müller (RETIRED) 2012-10-28 18:52:00 UTC]

reassigning to pacho (thanks!) since I stepped down as maintainer for bluez

But no idea about what gcc version includes a fix for that

Thanks Pacho for pushing this forward!  Upstream threads (so others don't need to dig through Gmane):

Still valid with gcc-4.6.3?

Yeah, I got the same error using gcc-4.6.3 and bluez-4.101-r5.

[Comment 10 Pacho Ramos 2013-10-03 06:12:33 UTC]

And with gcc-4.7.3-r1?

I'll let you know once something in the 4.7 series stabilizes ;).

[Comment 12 Pacho Ramos 2013-10-12 06:07:44 UTC]

It's in progress :)
