[bug-report] hdf5 misbehaves when compiled with gcc 4.8.0

[Andrea Bedini]

Hi,

it's too hard to figure out how to send a proper bug report :) I'll just
write an email.

It seems that on some architectures hdf5 has issues when compiled with gcc
4.8.0 and newer compilers.

If the build log include the string "unable to calculate alignment for long
double" (it's present in [1] and [2]) then the build is corrupted.

[2]
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=hdf5&arch=i386&ver=1.8.11-3%2Bb1&stamp=1377025110

I am discussing this problem on the hdf-forum mailing list

Best wishes,
Andrea
