Updates on the -fpic bug:
Satoshi has been so kind to point me to the ports build logs. Out of
1672 files compiled with -fpic, 1033 of them with -O1, none triggered
the assembler warning message.
I would now feel reasonably comfortable to resolve the issue for
Release 4.0 by :
- committing Bruce' "wave-dead-chicken" fix for localtime.c (remove
the "const" so that gcc doesn't try its wrong optimization). -O2
world for localtime.c as well, BTW.
- turning the assembler warning message into an error, using Bruce'
diff (I originally feared that we would break more ports than we
could handle). Except that I would extend the error message with
"try different optimization settings" to give people a chance to
recover.
- hope that gcc and gas agree over their capabilities when 4.1
comes...
Any objections? If none, Jordan, would you please approve us to do so?
Martin
