I am trying to build ipsec-tools package from http://ipsec-tools.sourceforge.net/ on Ubuntu PC. I build the package with:
$ ./autoreconf --force --install
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --enable-security-context=no
$ make
The make stops with the following error message:
grabmyaddr.c:424: error: dereferencing pointer ‘sin6’ does break strict-aliasing rules
Any idea how to finish the make without errors?

it is caused by the new strict aliasing checking in the 4.4 version of gcc. You can fix it by changing in the general Makefile and in the src/racoon subdirectory Makefile the CFLAGS line to include also -fno-strict-aliasing.

1You can also do export CFLAGS="-fno-strict-aliasing" before configure and make, that way the flag is taken into account without changing the Makefiles. – Cosmin Prund – 2012-02-04T16:38:20.763
It's a programming error on the part of the developers. If you have a little C experience, then check out this - it was the first Google result. Or, report this bug and somebody should get around to it as compile errors tend to be pretty high priority.
