Subject: perl: Disable strict aliasing with clang
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d4af9e6a1c0090e4ee9b1199adf2144636997f03;p=thirdparty%2Fopenembedded%2Fopenembedded-core-contrib.git

perl: Disable strict aliasing with clang

clang-21+ compiled perl ends up with segfults in
various places if this optimization is enabled

panic: del_backref, svp=0 at /usr/lib/perl5/5.40.2/warnings.pm line 622.
Compilation failed in require at /usr/lib/perl5/5.40.2/Getopt/Std.pm line 4.

The crash starts at frame #0 in Perl_sv_kill_backrefs() at sv.c:6420
called during magic cleanup (Perl_magic_killbackrefs)
