gtest-1.7.0-5.fc23 fails to build from source.

This affects Base Runtime, Rawhide, and F25.

The reason for this is a failing test, gtest_catch_exceptions_test. This is a manifestation of the problem that the gtest_catch_exceptions_ex_test_ executable has a segmentation fault rather than an exception that should be caught by the gtest framework.

This failure has been reported upstream: https://github.com/google/googletest/issues/845. Unfortunately, there is no fix reported there.

It can be noted that the build and all tests succeed if C++ compiler optimization is disabled when compiling the package. This suggests a bug in the compiler. However, it also suggests disabling optimization is a workaround to fix the FTBFS problem.
