crash with gcc 4.8 (aggressive-loop-optimizations)

[Ilya Melnikov]

I build and use application (https://launchpad.net/~rayanayar/+archive/openmcu-ru-dev) which depends on sofia-sip library. Ubuntu releases before Saucy works fine. But in Saucy was introduced gcc 4.8:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html

Sofia-sip package has only one little change in Saucy in comparsion to Raring (fix build on arm64). But sofia-sip in Saucy became broken. Another one broken thing in Saucy with target application is libx264. Trying and googling bring me here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/x264/+bug/1241772

Recompiling sofia-sip package with "-fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations" solves issue for sofia-sip. Same as enabling saucy-proposed solves issue for libx264 (in saucy-proposed it is compiled with "-fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations").

It would be great if "-fno-aggressive-loop-optimizations" will be in Saucy (and probably in Trusty?) for sofia-sip too.

Attaching patch for debian/rules which solves issue with sofia-sip in my case.

[Konstantin Yeliseyev (kay27)]

Simon, please note: sofia-sip looks dead at sourceforge. I'm afraid, Nokia has stopped to support it. So it is very good, you've submitted a patch... but it absolutely does not solve the problem at the moment.
Why just don't to use the patch from this issue (offered by Ilya)?

[Ilya Melnikov (rayanayar)]

I tested patch "fix-undefined-behaviour" (by Radist Morse):
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=729301#32

It solves problem for OpenMCU-ru. But probably there is other issues with gcc 4.8 in Sofia-sip. Because this patch does not solve problems for all users (see comment #13: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=981056#c13).

Temporarily (while this patch is not in Saucy) I build Sofia-sip in OpenMCU-ru Dev PPA:
