The systemd mailing list makes it look like this may not be a sparc only |
| 42 |
problem, it looks like it can also happen to 64 bit mips. What about |
| 43 |
patching configure.ac to have an --disable-lto option? |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
if use sparc ; then |
| 46 |
configure_opts+=" --disable-lto " |
| 47 |
