#2523: Install of Postgis 2.1 on Gentoo generates warning: "may exhibit random
runtime failures"

 Reporter:  jlpoole  |       Owner:  pramsey      
     Type:  defect   |      Status:  new          
 Priority:  low      |   Milestone:  PostGIS 2.1.1
Component:  postgis  |     Version:  2.0.x        
 Keywords:           |  
---------------------+------------------------------------------------------
 Install of Postgis 2.1 (I built a custom ebuild to pull 2.1 in since that
 version currently is not offered by Gentoo's package manager) warns:

 {{{
 * QA Notice: Package triggers severe warnings which indicate that it
  *            may exhibit random runtime failures.
  * generator.c:73: warning: implicit declaration of function
 'trim_trailing_zeros'

  * Please do not file a Gentoo bug and instead report the above QA
  * issues directly to the upstream developers of this software.
  * Homepage: http://postgis.net
 }}}

 I pasted the build output, 1222 lines, at http://pastebin.com/3etJUx2Q and
 I can attach it to this bug if someone desires it.  The pastebin will only
 be active for 30 days. Specifically see line 1187 for the above quoted
 message.

 The install otherwise proceeded without failure.  It is disconcerting to
 be warned that there could be a runtime failure.
