Description Robert McGrath 2003-10-06 03:26:15 UTC 
After a seemingly succesful run of ".configure" a run of "make" end with the 
following;
   Compiling popt/poptparse.c
   Linking bin/smbd
   ld:
   Unresolved:
   __unsafe_string_function_usage_here__
   *** Exit 1
   Stop.

After posting this failure on the samba mailing list, Andrew Bartlett respined 
with this suggested fix;

We have a configure test who's role it is to detect if a function call is 
removed, if not used (as detected by the optomization code).  We use this 
particular compiler-quirk to find buffer-overruns at compile time.

For some reason, it has failed to correctly note your compiler's behaviour and 
have placed:

#define HAVE_COMPILER_WILL_OPTIMIZE_OUT_FNS 1

into your config.h.  The easy fix it so remove that line, after you run
configure.

Attempting to compile the 3.0.0 release of Samba on Compaq Tru64 4.0f (aka DEC 
OSF1 version 4.0f)
I am using the default compiler and "make" supplied with the OS, not GNU make 
and also not GCC.

Robert, please let me know if this is still an

please test 3.0.11 and reopen if the bug still exists.  Thanks.

sorry for the same, cleaning up the database to prevent unecessary reopens of bugs.
