Neither compiler supports that option.
It's highly unlikely that this directory was previously used with a
compiler that *did* support it (unless Fedora pushed out a compiler
downgrade) but I suppose it is possible.
I don't know. On my (32-bit) system, both compilers correctly report that
it is not supported. I'd need to see the cmake output on a system that
has
this problem.
Unfortunately the evidence is all gone now. Maybe if I hit the problem
again in the future...
Ah, OK, I found a way to reproduce it (in current SVN):
1) rm -rf _cmake_build
2) mkdir _cmake_build && cd _cmake_build
3) vi ../CMakeLists.txt
4) Move the "-Wshorten-64-to-32" flag from where it is in the file to
just after "-Wshadow"
5) cmake ..
6) make # just to show that it works (I stopped the build after a few C
files were compiled)
7) vi ../CMakeLists.txt
8) Put "-Wshorten-64-to-32" back where it was (at the end of
WIRESHARK_C_ONLY_FLAGS)
9) cmake ..
10) make # now it doesn't work, complaining that "-Wshorten-64-to-32" is
an unknown option
--> It seems cmake isn't caching the result of the test but rather the
value of the variable we're storing the result in (e.g., WS_C_FLAG_VALID39).
