Re: Problems compiling 1.7.0 on redhat el4 64bit

Where do we stand on this? I have not seen anyone propose the obvious fix
which would be to reverse the commit that caused the problem. Do we really
need this optimization if it can segfault with the wrong compiler settings?

As mentioned before, we saw this same problem in the Linux RPM's that we
provide. Currently we are working around it by doing the build on RHEL 5
and dropping support for RHEL 4, but obviously the preferred solution for us
would be to continue to support RHEL 4.
