GCC 4.8

[vbmithr]

This is a comment I got on the Archlinux package for this git repo, reporting it here just in case:

changes in gcc 4.8 bring a warning for pointer access:
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/porting_to.html

This is triggered in the current setup; also another error indicating that optimization needs to be on when compiling.

• I patched around this by using CFLAGS="-Wno-sizeof-pointer-memaccess -O" ./configure --prefix=/usr

But that is probably not going to be that neccesary in the coming weeks as there's a Debian bugreport about it, so someone has probably started talking to the git folks about it and they will either patch the source or ... similar. (I haven't actually loaded the kernel module yet, so I'm not going to recommend this solution just yet.)
