Bug#105741: gcc-3.0 misscompiles the Allegro library

[Eduard Bloch <edi@gmx.de>]

Package: gcc-3.0
Version: 1:3.0-4
Severity: normal

S.s. You can take allegro3937 from incoming.d.o. or from ftp-mirrors
when it is installed. gcc-3.0 can compile binaries and link to the
existing liballegro*.so without any problems, but when compiling the
library itself, the result is broken. Any application using the library
crashes on startup. The library can be build properly with previous
versions of gcc, so it must be a problem of gcc-3.0.

Note: this breakage also appears on i386, other plattform seems not to
be affected.

Note: Please don't take allegro or allegro3936 for tests. The bug
appears with these versions too, but the packages have problems with
linking of non-PIC code (caused by xlibs and libesd).

Note: if you take allegro3937 for tests, edit rules and remove the small
hack in the configure line that sets CC=gcc-2.95 on i386.

Gruss/Regards,
Eduard.
