Compiler switch "-fomit-frame-pointer" breaks gstreamer build

From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7) Gecko/20040708 Description of problem: Attempts to build binary packages from gstreamer-0.8.3-2.src.rpm fail when the "-fomit-frame-pointer" switch is used. Note that compiler switches are specified by /etc/rpmrc. This set of compiler switches works: -march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe This set of switches stop gstreamer from building to completion: -march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gstreamer-0.8.3-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Specify compiler switches "-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" in /etc/rpmrc. 2. Run: rpmbuild --rebuild gstreamer-0.8.3-2.src.rpm 3. After build fails, remove the "-fomit-frame-pointer" and try again. 4. With revised set of compiler switches the build completes normally. Actual Results: Build fails with this output: mkdir .libs gcc -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -Wall -DGST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -I../../libs -I../.. -I../.. -c gstreamer-scan.c -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/gstreamer-scan.o gcc -pthread -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libxml2 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -g -Wall -DGST_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -I../../libs -I../.. -I../.. -c gstreamer-scan.c -o gstreamer-scan.o >/dev/null 2>&1 gcc -o .libs/gstreamer-scan .libs/gstreamer-scan.o ../../gst/.libs/libgstreamer-0.8.so /usr/lib/libxml2.so -lpthread -lz -lm -lgobject-2.0 -lgthread-2.0 -lgmodule-2.0 -ldl -lglib-2.0 /usr/lib/libpopt.so creating gstreamer-scan Scan failed make[3]: *** [scan-build.stamp] Error 255 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/gstreamer-0.8.3/docs/gst' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/gstreamer-0.8.3/docs' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/gstreamer-0.8.3' make: *** [all] Error 2 error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.56263 (%build) Expected Results: Should complete build of binary packages. Additional info: This is a FC2 system installed with "[] Everything" package selection and with all updates applied. Possibly it is not "-fomit-frame-pointer" itself that is problematic but that switch in conjunction with the other switches shown above. Note though that I use "-march=pentium4 -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" as a matter of course and have not seen this combination of compiler switches break any other package builds.
This works for me with gstreamer 0.8.5's upstream package, so presumably it will work in rawhide too. If you want to confirm that, that'd be great. I am not going to issue an FC2 update for this though.
