[pubcookie-dev] Keyclient problems

[Nathan Dors]

This has all the characteristics of a known problem with gcc 2.96 
on RedHat 7.3. We believe there's a bug in this compiler that 
causes problems building mod_pubcookie when optimizations are on.

The simplest solution seems to be turning off optimizations. After 
running the configure script, edit the pubcookie/module/Makefile 
(i.e. the one in the "module" subdirectory) and remove "-O2" from 
CFLAGS. Turning off optimization avoids the compiler bug.
