Description:
PKGBUILD for lib32-zlib removes -O2 but adds -O3 to the CFLAGS variable, causing segfault.

Additional info:

1.2.5.3 ([multilib] version)

Steps to reproduce:
makepkg lib32-zlib, the -O3 flag is clearly used.

This bug is known, and already under investigations.

Apparently the bug is in gcc 4.5.0, see http://mail.madler.net/pipermail/zlib-devel_madler.net/2010-May/002268.html

A possible workaround should be to build zlib with the following flags:
-O3 and -free-vectorize or -03 and -mstackrealign

I can confirm that with
export CFLAGS="${CFLAGS/-O2/-O3 -fno-tree-vectorize} -DUNALIGNED_OK"
the segfault does not occur with my app. I leave it up to wonder to decide whether this is a 'fix' or (more likely) just a hack.
