I've been drawing up some patches to fix gcc 4.1 problems with 21.5. In the
little testing that I've done I haven't seen Ville's problems (maybe its
because I'm on a Mac?) but -fno-strict-aliasing removes an enormous number of
warnings in the tty code caused by CONSOLE_TYPE_DATA().
I don't know about it being because you are on a Mac. I've tried
reproducing Ville's problem, too, and I just can't seem to trigger it.
On the other hand, I'm compiling vanilla 21.4.19, and the Fedora package
has a number of patches I haven't looked at. I'll have to try building
the actual RPM with -fstack-protector and see if I can trigger it.
