Package: gcc-snapshot
Version: 20060325-1
I get the following build failure of libsndfile with gcc 4.2
20060325-1 and 20060408-1. Basically what happens is that abs()
returns a negative number.

The code basically does:
sum_abs = abs (sum_abs + abs (abs (data [k]) - 256)) ;
in a loop.
With 4.2 snapshot I get negative numbers at some point, but with
4.0/4.1 I don't:

Unfortunataly, a simple test case which adds those numbers works, and
I have no idea how to produce a test case. This bug seems different
to the other bug about signedness we just reported (PR27116) since no
division is involved here.
