|
|
Description
|
Objects built with `gcc -flto -ffat-lto-objects` will contain random strings
in the form of `.gnu.lto_.inline.24c30dabb443e726`. They will change at
each build.
Temporary (?) solution: pass the full path of the source as the argument
to `-frandom-seed`.

Identifier:
|
records_build_flags
|
|
Description
|
Records $CFLAGS, which vary intentionally due to the «-fdebug-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.»,
«-ffile-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.» or «-fmacro-prefix-map=${BUILDPATH}=.» flags.

We have a patch pending to GCC to fix this issue centrally:
.
https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2016-11/msg00182.html
.
Though the patch is currently unlikely to be merged. If/when this
is accepted, this issue should be fixed for all packages and you
should not need to fix it specifically in your package.
.
There is also a work-in-progress patch to dpkg that could address this issue:
.
https://bugs.debian.org/985553

Test result in python2.7-dev, but this is already deactivated
on buildds or when `nobench` is given in `DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS`.
Guess it could be made turned off by defaults? Also, it
doesn't show up for python3.4 and python3.5, but not
investigated.
