Created attachment 91190 [details, diff] abs -> llabs patch This patch replaces std::abs with llabs which fixes the problem for me, but I'm not sure it's the best fix. Comments?
let's see what upstream thinks ;)
Hola, the 'abs' has been removed in CVS, so my advice is to wait for the new release (Which shouldn't take too long :) ) btw, usage of llabs is (afaik) harmless and correct :)
Cool. Simon, do you mind if we include this patch for both versions currently in portage then? I think Pylon mentioned that we're building it for the release media for 2006.1.
i fixed it for 0.2.5. I didn't backport the patch because only ppc uses these ricer-like gcc and glibc versions, and you could just as easily mark 0.2.5 stable :)
Nah, all of you other arches are just behind the times. :) I've marked 0.2.5 ppc stable, so I'm closing the bug. Thanks!
