Subject: bug#25803: [PATCH] guile-snarf: skip -g* arguments to avoid build failure
Date: Sun, 19 Feb 2017 22:58:40 +0000

Steps to reproduce:
    $ ./configure CFLAGS=-ggdb3
    $ make
    make[1]: Entering directory '/home/slyfox/dev/git/guile/libguile'
      CC       libguile_2.2_la-alist.lo
    In file included from alist.c:398:0:
    ../libguile/alist.x: In function 'scm_init_alist':
    ../libguile/alist.x:2:2537: error: conflicting types for 'scm_i_foreign_call'

The problem here is in gcc -ggdb3 which leaves too much
of unrelated input. guile-snarf does not understand how to drop it:

The fix is to ignore -g* flags. They should only affect debugging output.

* libguile/guile-snarf.in: skip -g* arguments to avoid build failure
