Yes, it should affect around 400 packages in the distro from what I remember
from Jeff's test mass rebuild, other distros are aware of it too and the
fixes just need to be pushed upstream or grabber from upstream if they are
there already.
Adding -fcommon is a temporary workaround but fixing the packages is
preferred, especially if those fixes end up upstream.
Right. It was ~450. The
SuSE team in particular has had reasonable
success getting fixes upstreamed -- I think Martin L indicated they'd
gotten a few dozen fixed upstream.
ISTM that fixing upstream is by far the best choice followed by fixing
with a Fedora patch. Working around via an opt-out or modifying the
flags in a .spec file is the least desirable.
