Issue: pentoo/pentoo-core-2022.2-r1 installs shell script that uses non-POSIX features. Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: pentoo_tinderbox)

NOTE: This machine uses lto with CFLAGS=-flto -Werror=odr -Werror=lto-type-mismatch -Werror=strict-aliasing

Here is a bit of explanation:

-Werror=lto-type-mismatch: User to find possible runtime issues in packages. It likely means the package is unsafe to build & use with LTO. For projects using the same identifier but with different types across different files, they must be fixed to be consistent across the codebase.

-Werror=odr: Used to find possible runtime issues in packages. These bugs are a problem anyway but may be even worse when combined with LTO. C++ code must comply with the One Definition Rule (ODR) - see https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/definition#One_Definition_Rule.

-Werror=strict-aliasing: Used to find possible runtime issues in packages. These bugs are a problem anyway but may be even worse when combined with LTO.

Workarounds:

• If upstream is friendly and still active, file a bug upstream. For emulators, codecs, games, or multimedia packages, it may be worth just applying a workaround instead, as upstreams sometimes aren't receptive to these bugs (VALID FOR ALL).
• Use the new 'filter-lto' from flag-o-matic.eclass as it's likely to be unsafe with LTO (VALID FOR lto-type-mismatch - odr).
• Fix it yourself if interested, of course (VALID FOR ALL).
• Append-flags -fno-strict-aliasing (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).
• Use memcpy() but a union is sometimes suitable too (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).
• -fstrict-aliasing is implied by -O2, so this must be addressed in some form (VALID FOR strict-aliasing).
