Does the /build/ fail with Debian's GCC 4.4.5, or some test suite of
your spkg?
In this optimization level and with a too old gcc, one sub-program that is
computing basic data for the cohomology computations simply won't run.
So, it does not give wrong results, it gives no result whatsoever.
Good. (Does it terminate [with an error]?)
If it's not too complicated, you could lower the optimization level
depending on the GCC version, or some build option, though.
That's the plan. The question is: Can this wait a few months (of course
being documented on the project web page), or is it required for an
optional pack that this issue is addressed immediately?
I'd say no (it isn't required), but would issuing a quick (and dirty)
pN+1 be such of an effort?
In a few months, Debian's GCC 4.4.5 will hopefully have vanished... ;-)
