The following reply was made to PR ports/72014; it has been noted by GNATS.

Some background: In PR ports/72014 it was reported a long time ago that eclipse/gtk crashes and this was tracked down to non-standard compiler optimizations when building gtk. There have been similar bug reports filed against the eclipse and gcc bug databases. Some gcc people have tracked it down to incorrect stack alignment (see ports/72014 for the pointers) and have received reports that using -mno-sse2 fixed it. Daniel has verified that this seems to help our case also. Therefore the question is, should we force -mno-sse2 to the compiler flags for the gtk ports? I would expect less bug reports from people who compile gtk apps with non-standard CFLAGS, at least. Cheers, Panagiotis
