Skate uses buildfarm default configuration, whereas snapper uses settings which 
are used when building postgresql debian packages. Debian packages are built 
without --enable-cassert, but most buildfarm animals build with 
--enable-cassert. I specifically configured skate and snapper like that because 
I ran into such issues in the past (where debian packages would fail to build 
on sparc, but buildfarm animals on debian sparc did not highlight the issue).

In the past, I've already switched from gcc 4.6 to gcc 4.7 as a workaround for 
a similar compiler bug, but I can't upgrade to a newer gcc without backporting 
it myself, so for the moment I've switched snapper to use -O1 instead of -O2, 
for HEAD only.

Not sure whether wheezy on sparc 32-bit is very relevant today, but it's an 
exotic platform, so I try to keep those buildfarm animals alive as long as it's 
possible.

Best regards,
Tom Turelinckx
