Description Dave Andruczyk 2004-03-15 07:57:44 UTC 
Long story summary:    arts-1.2.0 from kde failed to compile ever since it came out,  with a warning about an invalid pointer.  After seeing the gdb found a fault in libc.so.6 I recompiled glibc (added -g to CFLAGS, added nostrip to FEATURES) and then attempted to recompile arts, which died in the same place.  This time a gdb run gives this information:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge arts	
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:  
build fails when calling "../mcopidl ../flow/artsflow.idl 
run gdb with the same commands,  fault lies inside glibc 

Expected Results:  
build completion,  without errors

Comment 1 Dave Andruczyk 2004-04-08 18:06:20 UTC 
problem was caused by "-fomit-frame-pointer" CFLAGS arg . removed that and the compile completed cleanly..
