Bug 125533 – sys-app/groff-1.18.1.1 compilation failed with gcc-4.1.0

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description hiyuh 2006-03-08 14:24:55 UTC]

It seems one of C++ extra qualification errors.
(I know sys-apps/groff-1.18.1.1 was blamed GLSA 200411-15.
 But some non-English (like Japanese) man-pages require
 <sys-apps/groff-1.19 still now, IIRC.)

And then, I've tried to emerge with -O3, -O2, -O0 instead of -Os.
But any -O? can't help this error.
So, to filter flags without this patch won't resolve, IMHO.

base-system doesnt support the 1.18.x versions anymore

I didn't know that.
It means non-English man-pages are not available at the moment?

Anyway, this patch can help to work-around this compilation problem, IMHO.
"man man" outputs seems O.K.
On the other hand, it means I've not completely test it, though.
