Subject: flag-o-matic.eclass: whitelist -mstackrealign for 'strip-flags'
X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=2004d466896f9b81452c7bdac1ee00866b8f0ff1;p=gentoo.git

flag-o-matic.eclass: whitelist -mstackrealign for 'strip-flags'

Allow '-mstackrealign' in ebuilds like glibc to force stack realignment.
That will allow running ancient (or foreign) binaries that don't
maintain 16-byte stack alignment. See bug #677852 for example.
