problem with compilation

please always include a self-contained testcase (preprocessed code) and the command line options used.

i compile lastest SVN version
./autogen.sh
make
make install

no options
"self-contained testcase (preprocessed code)" i don't understand.

I reproduced this with SVN trunk of transmission (svn://svn.m0k.org/Transmission/trunk, revision 6324):

gcc -DPACKAGE_NAME=\"transmission\" -DPACKAGE_TARNAME=\"transmission\" -DPACKAGE_VERSION=\"1.22Z\" -DPACKAGE_STRING=\"transmission\ 1.22Z\" -DPACKAGE_BUGREPORT=\"http://trac.transmissionbt.com/newticket\" -DPACKAGE=\"transmission\" -DVERSION=\"1.22Z\" -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_TYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_SYS_STAT_H=1 -DHAVE_STDLIB_H=1 -DHAVE_STRING_H=1 -DHAVE_MEMORY_H=1 -DHAVE_STRINGS_H=1 -DHAVE_INTTYPES_H=1 -DHAVE_STDINT_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DHAVE_DLFCN_H=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DTIME_WITH_SYS_TIME=1 -DHAVE_DAEMON=1 -DHAVE_DIRNAME=1 -DHAVE_BASENAME=1 -DHAVE_DAEMON=1 -DHAVE_STRCASECMP=1 -DSIZEOF_VOIDP=4 -DHAVE_PTHREAD=1 -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DHAVE_GIO=1 -DHAVE_LIBNOTIFY=1 -DHAVE_DBUS_GLIB=1 -DHAVE_LIBINTL_H=1 -DGETTEXT_PACKAGE=\"transmission\" -DHAVE_LOCALE_H=1 -DHAVE_LC_MESSAGES=1 -DHAVE_BIND_TEXTDOMAIN_CODESET=1 -DHAVE_GETTEXT=1 -DHAVE_DCGETTEXT=1 -DENABLE_NLS=1 -I. -I. -I.. -I../third-party/ -D__TRANSMISSION__ -I../third-party/libevent -pthread -g -Wall -W -O3 -funroll-loops -MT utils.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/utils.Tpo -c -o utils.o utils.c
utils.c: In function ‘tr_deepLog’:
utils.c:193: warning: ignoring return value of ‘fwrite’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result
In function ‘memset’,
    inlined from ‘tr_malloc0’ at utils.c:697:
/usr/include/bits/string3.h:82: warning: call to ‘__warn_memset_zero_len’ declared with attribute warning: memset used with constant zero length parameter; this could be due to transposed parameters

... and, as the reporter describes, it seems to hang there. The third parameter to memset does *not* seem to be a constant zero. I've attached preprocessed source.

seen with the 4.3 branch and trunk 20080711; please use -O2 (instead of -O3) for the package build for now.

This bug was fixed in the package gcc-4.3 - 4.3.1-6ubuntu1
