Bug 262174 – dev-util/boost-build-1.34.1 wouldn't build with '-combine' gcc flag

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Alexander Bezrukov 2009-03-11 18:46:25 UTC]

Compilation errors in the said package prevent the ebuild if $CFLAGS contains -combine. The errors are caused by violation of the ODR and indeed are bugs in the code.

This problem is different from the one described in bug #252287.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure that your compiler version supports '-combine'.
2. Add '-combine' to CFLAGS, if not already there.
3. emerge =dev-util/boost-build-1.34.1

I am in process of preparation of a patch which would fix the problem.

As promised, added a patch.

Updated variant of the patch

[Comment 3 Sebastian Luther (few) 2009-11-24 18:15:01 UTC]

Please file an upstream bug about this and add a reference here.

[Comment 4 Alexander Bezrukov 2012-08-27 09:42:21 UTC]

I think this bug is no more actual as '-combine' option has been removed from gcc 4.6 in the process of LTO redesign.

I am closing it with RESOLVED/OBSOLETE.
