[Parted-maintainers] Bug#505346: FTBFS with GCC 4.4: integer overflow in preprocessor expression

[Martin Michlmayr]

Package: parted
Version: 1.8.8.git.2008.03.24-11
User: debian-gcc at lists.debian.org
Usertags: ftbfs-gcc-4.4

Your package fails to build with the upcoming GCC 4.4.  Version 4.4
has not been released yet but I'm building with a snapshot in order
to find errors and give people an advance warning.

You can reproduce this problem with gcc-snapshot from unstable.

This is the only gcc 4.4 related build error.
