Hi, Compiled GCC 4.7.4 with options: --enable-languages=c,c++ --disable-multilib
Compiled Dovecot v2.3.15 wih options: export CC=/usr/local/gcc-4.7.4/bin/gcc export CXX=/usr/local/gcc-4.7.4/bin/g++ ./configure --prefix=/usr --with-ssl=openssl --with-ssldir=/etc/ssl --sysconfdir=/etc --with-pam --without-bsdauth --without-sql --without-nss --without-ldap --without-pgsql --without-mysql --without-sqlite --with-rundir=/var/run/dovecot --without-cassandra --without-lucene --without-solr --without-textcat --without-libcap --without-stemmer --disable-rpath --disable-dependency-tracking --disable-silent-rules --without-gssapi --without-cdb Got error: configure: error: fd passing is required for Dovecot to work Added --disable-hardening and got further, but then with GCC 4.7.4, now I'm getting same old error, which I first got 4 years ago with version v2.2.30 and which Timo fixed - https://dovecot.org/list/dovecot/2017-June/108418.html db-checkpassword.c: In function 'sigchld_handler': db-checkpassword.c:426:6: error: assignment of read-only member '__in' db-checkpassword.c:427:3: error: assignment of read-only member '__in' db-checkpassword.c:431:13: error: assignment of read-only member '__in' db-checkpassword.c:432:26: error: assignment of read-only member '__in' make[3]: *** [db-checkpassword.lo] Error 1 Due GCC segmentation faults during compilation, so far I'm unable to compile any newer GCC, but got also same result with GCC 4.6.4.
