The *safest* option of them all is of course to never build with optimizations. Its comparably easy to generate straightforward machine code, the compiler bugs are invariably tied to the optimization process. Also, I think that old bugs in the gcc bugzilla are not systematically tested against

I have a bad feeling about this. We both know that nobody is going to check whether its still necessary to downgrade optimizations by the time that, say, 4.6.5 rolls out. IHMO it would be much better to use the compiler wrapper and limit optimizations globally for specific compiler releases. --

[sage-devel] Blocker tickets needing review

2011-05-03 Thread Jeroen Demeyer
There are two blockers for sage-4.7 which need review, both are spkg patches: #11226: Sympow spkg fails with gcc 4.6.0 #11278: singular 3-1-1-4.p8 fails on Mac OS X 10.4 Normally, these two tickets are the last obstacles for a sage-4.7 release. Jeroen. -- To post to this group, send an email
