bug#78509: Coreutils' mv and cp 9.5 do not work properly on old PPC Mac OS X 10.4.11, Tiger

[Peter Dyballa]

Paul,

I have a strange effect when building coreutils 9.7 with MacPorts. Yesterday I 
tried to build with -O0 – and it failed! This morning I repeated it – with same 
result:

        /opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 -std=gnu99  -I. -I./lib  -Ilib -I./lib 
-Isrc -I./src -I/opt/local/include -fPIC   -pipe -ggdb -O0 -arch ppc -MT 
src/libstdbuf_so-libstdbuf.o -MD -MP -MF src/.deps/libstdbuf_so-libstdbuf.Tpo 
-c -o src/libstdbuf_so-libstdbuf.o `test -f 'src/libstdbuf.c' || echo 
'./'`src/libstdbuf.c
        mv -f src/.deps/libstdbuf_so-libstdbuf.Tpo 
src/.deps/libstdbuf_so-libstdbuf.Po
        /opt/local/bin/gcc-apple-4.2 -std=gnu99 -fPIC   -pipe -ggdb -O0 -arch

I saved config.log and config.status from a build with -O instead of standard 
-Os and shall check later with other builds. The functions listed above are not 
part of Mac OS X 10.4.11, Tiger (apropos tells: nothing appropriate).

To most people solutions mean finding the answers. But to chemists solutions 
are things that are still all mixed up.
