Package: gnat-4.3 Severity: serious Version: 4.3.0-1 gnat-4.3 build-depends on gnat (>= 4.1), the current version of which symlinks gnatgcc to gcc-4.1. gcc-4.1 does not support the "-Wno-overlength-strings" option (added in 4.2).
During the configure step, we pass CC=gnatgcc to make sure we use the compiler with support for Ada as the bootstrap compiler. Unfortunately, on some architectures (most notably i386 and powerpc), the configure step failed with: > gnatgcc -c -g -O2 -W -Wall -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes > -Wmissing-prototypes -Wold-style-definition -Wmissing-format-attribute > -Wno-overlength-strings -pedantic -Wno-long-long -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. > -I../../../src/fixincludes -I../include -I../../../src/fixincludes/../include > ../../../src/fixincludes/fixincl.c > cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-overlength-strings" > make[5]: *** [fixincl.o] Error 1 The problem, therefore, is that we mistakenly pass -Wno-overlength-strings to gcc-4.1. This, in turn, appears to be due to the configure script in src/fixincludes not correctly detecting that gnatgcc does not support the option: > Configuring in build-powerpc-linux-gnu/fixincludes [...] > checking whether gnatgcc supports -Wno-overlength-strings... yes I am investigating but would welcome any help fixing this problem. -- Ludovic Brenta (maintainer of gnat-4.3). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
