--- Comment #4 from Jan Kratochvil <jan.kratochvil at redhat dot com> 2011-08-11 11:22:41 UTC --- Thanks for a fix, FYI this is a reduced real world problem. During backporting of [patch] Implement core file's PID for s390* and ppc* http://sourceware.org/ml/binutils/2011-04/msg00272.html specifically misordered: vvv elf_tdata (abfd)->core_pid = psinfo.pr_pid; ^^^ memcpy (&psinfo, note->descdata, sizeof (psinfo)); I got a warning from RHEL-6 gcc-4.4.5-6.el6.x86_64 which I did not get the warning during the patch preparation on Fedora 14 gcc-4.5.1-4.fc14.x86_64. This problem was found and would be found afterwards anyway by a testcase but not every line of GCC compiled code has a testcase.
