Details

Description:
memtest86+ shows (red) errors on my good RAM just in the first seconds.
As pointed by upstream, memtest86+ should only be compiled with gcc4.1 or lower. Or it will behaves like this.
(See here: http://forum.canardpc.com/showthread.php?t=30700 look at the "Warning")

Additional info:
extra/memtest86+ 2.10-1

Steps to reproduce:
Install this version of memtest86+ and reboot it and run it. Then you will see the errors.

Way to fix? :
Compile this with gcc4.1 ? I don't really know since I don't have gcc4.1 ...


This task depends upon

AFAIK compiling with -O1 should fix that. When compiling this thing with -O2, optimizations are turned on that affect integer overflow expectations. We've seen the same with tzdata a while ago.
