#24580: sparc-rtems-binutils fails building on snowleopard ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: mattias.holm@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: | Port: sparc-rtems-binutils ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Changes (by jmr@…): * cc: mattias.holm@… (removed) Old description:

Sparc rtems binutils fails building on snow leopard, it seems that this is a simple issue of a newer gcc being more pedantic about errors, in this case relating to the string translation _("Foo"), which prevents gcc from analysing the formatting in functions this is passed to.

The easy fix would be to disable the specific warning, or the -Werror flag.
