Re: (ITS#5983) ldappasswd returns "Additional info: password hash failed" in Solaris 10 SPARC

[mariusp44@gmail.com]

as I have pointed out in earlier post not only it doesn't work when I
compile it myself but also the one that was downloaded form
sunfreeware.com. It is not possible to tell what version of gcc was
used to compile openldap that is distributed but explanation that it
doesn't work because of compiler bug seems to me highly unlikely.
Unless you can specifically point to which bug in gcc on SPARC
contributes to this erratic behaviour of openldap.

Either way, thanks for comments.

/M.
