Bug 48406 – ghostscript-7.07.1-r1 fails with GCC 3.4 if anything greater than -O2 in CFLAGS

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description George L. Emigh 2004-04-19 14:17:55 UTC]

ghostscript will cause GCC 3.4 to implode, if greater than -O2 is used.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. try and build ghostscript with gcc 3.4 and -O3 or additional optimizing.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
GCC implodes. 

Expected Results:  
success. 

Add this to ebuild: 
 
    # We need to strip all flags and set to -O2 for gcc 3.4 
    if [ "`gcc-major-version`" -eq "3" ] && [ "`gcc-minor-version`" -eq "4" ] 
        then 
           strip-flags 
           export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS//-O?} -O2" 
           export CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" 
    fi

Created attachment 29657 [details]
ghostscript ebuild with the fix already added.

Tested with GCC 3.3.3 and GCC 3.4, builds ghostscript fine.

i didnt use your patch, but edited the ebuild in a similar way. the fix is in CVS, give it a bit to reach rsync.
