NetBSD's pkgsrc has a 5 years old OpenLDAP patch that address a build problem on sparc64 with gcc 3.x (x<= 3). The build failure is caused by a bug in gcc.

I think it would not hurt to commit this patch in OpenLDAP CVS: everything is guarded by macros, so it cannot cause any harm to unaffected systems, and the workaround has been tested by NetBSD people for 5 years.

Kurt will probably have something to say about this too - this is more than a couple-line patch, it needs to be submitted by its original author, with appropriate rights attributions etc.
