I can also confirm some miscompilation related to the optimisation with 4.6 on powerpc (gcr package, see bug #678496). Compiling with 4.8 or disabling optimisation (-O0) fixed the issue. As a side note, disabling valgrind macros also made the test succeed. Cheers Laurent Bigonville -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
