RHBA-2009:1533 - gcc bug fix update

Synopsis

gcc bug fix update

Type/Severity

Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

A gcc update that resolves an option handling bug where only the last "-fno-builtin-*" option specified on the command line was honored is now available.

Description

The gcc packages include C, C++, Java, Fortran, Objective C, and Ada 95 GNU compilers, along with related support libraries.

This update fixes the following bug:

if multiple "-fno-builtin-*" options were specified on the command line (for example, "-fno-builtin-iswalpha -fno-builtin-iswalnum") only the last option was honored (in the example, -fno-builtin-iswalnum). With this update, joined switches are no longer pruned, ensuring all such options are honored, as expected. (BZ#526421)

Users are advised to install this gcc update, which applies this fix.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at This content is not included.http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
