[OTR-dev] 4.0.0-rc3 ready to roll. Please try it out!

[Greg Troxel]

I looked at the -S output.  Basically, I built each way, and then did:

  rm auth.lo auth.o
  gmake -n | sed -e 's/ -c / -S /' | sh

which put the source in auth.o (and then the link failed).

Compilation with -O1/-O2 and with/without the gcc hardening are at:

http://www.lexort.com/pkgsrc/libotr/

The files are somewhat similar in size, but otrl_auth_handle_revealsig
is only about 1/4 as long in the O2/with case, and it seems it just left
out a lot of the function.
So this is 99.9% clearly a gcc bug.

Using built-in specs.
