FreeRADIUS 2 not listening on right port

[Michael Griego]

I did a little looking into this this evening.  This assessment looks  
to be correct as it looks to be related to compiler optimizations.   
With the optimizations disabled in Make.inc, FreeRADIUS will start up  
on the correct port.  For the fr_socket function, gcc appears to be  
optimizing the arguments by sending them through the registers instead  
of the stack frame, but the "port" argument is being clobbered  
("optimized out") before the htons(port) call.  Specifically,  
according to a step-through with GDB, after the first function call in  
fr_socket (which is to socket()), the port variable is gone  
("optimized out").
