What I did was to change the %build section of gnucash.spec from:
%build
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
to:
%build
CFLAGS=$RPM_OPT_FLAGS ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc
make
In Mandrake RPM_OPT_FLAGS is set as I noted above. I wondered if it might
make a difference. I've seen this sort of problem in other applications, but
I confess, I don't normally look beyond noting that there's a problem. I
just lower the optimization and carry on. The default optimization in
Gnucash's Makefiles is "-O2"
Best regards,
Arnold
