It's not from kuroo. It's from portage. It's triggered by certain gcc warnings that portage is grepping for in /usr/lib/portage/bin/misc-function.sh. The intention is for people to file bugs about it (although you should try to avoid filing duplicates of existing bug reports). As Dan already mentioned there's a document about it in the portage trunk (although I'm not sure how to show it in a more readable format). The only related part from it he left out is: || To fix this issue, use the methods proposed in the links mentioned earlier. || If you're unable to do so, then a work around would be to append the gcc || -fno-strict-aliasing flag to CFLAGS in the ebuild." Those are the existing bug reports with similar issues: http://tinyurl.com/2eer9q If you see it for a package not in that list you should thus file a bug.. -- Bo Andresen
