[Cmake] Bug#133696: cmake: FTBFS: need -ffunction-sections (hppa/unstable)

[Maitland Bottoms]

Hello CMake gurus.
The following I received through the Debian Bug Tracking System.
FTBFS == Failure To Build From Source

Some history: CMake versions 0.98 and 1.0 did build correctly.
Other good news: it built fine on 10 other architectures in Debian.

I haven't done my homework to learn about -ffunction-sections yet, but
I am thinking it come into play because on the HP PA-risc 64 bit
architecture the compiler is gcc version 3, and there are some
evolving C++ issues. But maybe it's just something different in CMake
1.2.

So for me at this time it is not clear just how to resolve this
problem, so I am looking for input from others on the list.

Thanks,
-Maitland
