Comment(by vbraun):

 > I totally agree with this by the way, but in my opinion there are two
 things we can do:
 >  1. Use -O3 always and leave the user with a non-compiling Sage ("it's
 not our fault, it's gcc's fault")
 >  2. Do the optimization-fallback as in this spkg.

 3. Show the error and then tell the user how to report the issue and
 continue the build without optimization. I think all thats needed is
 {{{
 CFLAGS=-O0 ./sage -f spkg/standard/pari*
 make
 }}}
 to build pari with no optimization and then build the rest?

 > I believe making a blacklist of versions known to fail is not a good
 solution because there will always be systems with a broken gcc that we
 don't know of.

 But if we silently try some workarounds then we will never find out about
 broken compilers either. The user should file a trac ticket to document
 the issue so it can be fixed in Sage and reported upstream.
