i was trying to add hesiod support to the package, but the problem occurs when using NIS and files, too (i.e. when using the original spec file) when compiling ('rpm -ba') the am-utils srpm on pentium III (i686) the RPM_OPT_FLAGS is set to "-O2 -march=i386 -mcpu=i686" and thus CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS and FFLAGS are set too. it seems '-mcpu=i686' confuses either configure or gcc, because the amd in the produced package doesn't work well -- whenever you try to access a point under amd control you get: Input Output Error after enough (3-4) trials it succeeds. puting 'optflags: i386 -O2 -march=i386' into rpmrc solves the problem and the package works fine. this problem occurs in am-utils in RedHat 7.0, too
Smells like a compiler bug. Assigning to gcc.
Are you able to reproduce it with latest gcc rpm (like 2.96-65 or above)?
I cannot reproduce this myself, so unless you specify how exactly you can reproduce it (preferably without hesiod and if possible without NIS) or unless you test some compiler options, I cannot do anything about it. I was testing am-utils which were in 7.0 (they were compiled with -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -O2) and saw no failures.
Closed due to inactivity.
