Yes it is the compiler.  Clang fails, gcc succeeds.  I can make clang
succeed with a small code change together with the removal of -O2
(disabling clang's optimizer).

The code change is instead of if(incep - expi > 0) ..fail..  it now has
var=incep-expi; if(var > 0) ..fail..

Clangs optimizer seems to take the wrong branch in the if statement.  If
I printout the value calculated, I get the correct output.  Something
like if(!((incep-expi)&0x80000000)) ..fail.. does not trick the
optimizer into taking the right branch.

The code change is in the code repository.
CFLAGS=-g ./configure
This disables -O2 as well, with the current version of unbound.

Or as a workaround, maybe ignore this, perhaps with domain-insecure,
because it seems to only happen for the int32_t values of (1391084010 -
-823674496 > 0).  And 2080 is uncommon in RRSIG timestamps.

Best regards, Wouter
