workaround: gcc v4.8 on 32 bit param. passing bug when -02 opimization used

Browse Source 
gcc -O2 v4.8 on 32 bit architecture is causing a bug in parameter
passing. It does not happen with -01 nor -O0.

The problematic part of the code was strlen use in config.c in
the config_def_check fn and the call for _config_def_check_tree in it:

<snip>
  rplen = strlen(rp);
  if (!_config_def_check_tree(handle, vp, vp + strlen(vp), rp, rp + rplen, CFG_PATH_MAX_LEN - rplen, cn, cmd->cft_def_hash)) ...
</snip>

If compiled with -O0 (correct):

Breakpoint 1, config_def_check (cmd=0x819b050, handle=0x81a04f8) at config/config.c:775
(gdb) p	vp
$1 = 0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p	strlen(vp)
$2 = 6
(gdb)
_config_def_check_tree (handle=0x81a04f8, vp=0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path>
"config", pvp=0x8189ee6 <_cfg_path+6> "", rp=0xbfffe1e8 "config",
prp=0xbfffe1ee "", buf_size=58, root=0x81a2568, ht=0x81a65
48) at config/config.c:680
(gdb) p	vp
$4 = 0x8189ee0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p	pvp
$5 = 0x8189ee6 <_cfg_path+6> ""

If compiled with -O2 (incorrect):

Breakpoint 1, config_def_check (cmd=cmd@entry=0x8183050, handle=0x81884f8) at config/config.c:775
(gdb) p	vp
$1 = 0x8172fc0 <_cfg_path> "config"
(gdb) p strlen(vp)
$2 = 6
(gdb) p	vp + strlen(vp)
$3 = 0x8172fc6 <_cfg_path+6> ""
(gdb)
_config_def_check_tree (handle=handle@entry=0x81884f8, pvp=0x8172fc7
<_cfg_path+7> "host_list", rp=rp@entry=0xbffff190 "config",
prp=prp@entry=0xbffff196 "", buf_size=buf_size@entry=58, ht=0x
818e548, root=0x818a568, vp=0x8172fc0 <_cfg_path> "config") at
config/config.c:674
(gdb) p	pvp
$4 = 0x8172fc7 <_cfg_path+7> "host_list"

The difference is in passing the "pvp" arg for _config_def_check_tree.
While in the correct case, the value of _cfg_path+6 is passed
(the result of vp + strlen(vp) - see the snippet of the code above),
in the incorrect case, this value is increased by 1 to _cfg_path+7,
hence totally malforming the string that is being processed.

This ends up with incorrect validation check and incorrect warning
messages are issued like:

 "Configuration setting "config/checks" has invalid type. Found integer, expected section."

To workaround this issue, remove the "static" qualifier from the
"static char _cfg_path[CFG_PATH_MAX_LEN]". This causes the optimalizer
to be less aggressive (also shuffling the arg list for
_config_def_check_tree call helps).
