This is present for both stable and unstable emacs versions.  Works with gcc-13, but when using gcc-14, it fails to compile with:

For comparison, build with gcc-13.
Comment 2 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-06-28 12:34:12 UTC
My notes suggest it might be -ffold-mem-offsets which is a new pass in GCC 14. We had a few problems with it on HPPA. I thought they were all fixed...

Tried with -fno-fold-mem-offsets, no luck.

Thanks, I'll poke more. Just upgrading the machine first.

If that's right (not yet confirmed), that's interesting, as we had discussion about it on the glibc side. See https://inbox.sourceware.org/libc-alpha/668d1c2d-1b02-bea8-d5a7-ea8a044f3f97@bell.net/.
Comment 6 Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2024-07-02 09:31:16 UTC
Emailed Dave & Helge for some help. I'm looking in the Emacs source but I don't see anywhere they would rely on this...

Dave has fixed this in GCC. It'll be in the next 14/15 snapshots.
