This 907 was introduced apparently unintendedly in gcc when 908 addressing a different issue. Rather than disabling 909 optimization for lex.c, instead revert the change to 910 gcc. The bug report upstream has been updated to 911 reflect the exact breakage. 912 913 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=101177 914kcah 915 916port arm 917hack compile t_sig_backtrace with -fno-omit-frame-pointer for arm 918cdate Tue Nov 23 23:24:37 UTC 2021 919mdate Tue Nov 23 23:24:37 UTC 2021 920who thorpej 921file src/tests/lib/libexecinfo/Makefile: 1.8 922file src/tests/lib/libexecinfo/t_sig_backtrace: 1.2 923descr Unit test fails to pass unless t_sig_backtrace.c is compiled 924 with -fno-omit-frame-pointer and -DNOINLINE_HACK. 925kcah 926 927hack alpha gcc error in lint 928cdate 2022/04/10 13:21:34 929who martin 930port alpha, vax 931file usr.bin/xlint/Makefile.inc: 1.23, 1.25 932pr 56789 933descr 934 Compiling lint with -ftrapv fails with an internal 935 gcc compiler error. 936 937 https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=105209 938 939 Supposedly fixed in gcc 11 or newer. 940kcah 941 942hack compile copy{in,out}() for ibm4xx with -O0 for clang 943cdate Mon Sep 12 08:06:36 UTC 2022 944who rin 945port evbppc 946file sys/arch/powerpc/ibm4xx/trap.c: 1.99 947descr 948 clang 13.0.0 miscompiles copy{in,out}() with -O[12].
