[SciPy-Dev] cephes_smirnov never returns on mips/sparc/...

Fri Mar 30 11:48:03 CDT 2012

related -- what is the canonical way to trigger build scipy (out of git)
without any optimization flags for gcc?

tried

FFLAGS='-O0 -g' CXXFLAGS='-O0 -g' CFLAGS='-O0 -g' python-dbg setup.py build_ext --inplace --debug

but still getting e.g.

Fortran fix compiler: /usr/bin/gfortran -Wall -ffixed-form -fno-second-underscore -Wall -fno-second-underscore -O0 -g -O3 -funroll-loops

where it gets overriden
