XaoS-3.4 uses dev-lang/nasm for x86 and sci-libs/gsl for other platforms. If --with-gsl is not given in amd64 and nasm is installed, it'll generate i386 asm which will cause a build error. So, --with-gsl --without-i386asm should be used for all platforms except x86. On a separate note, the ebuild currently depends unconditionally on x11-proto/xf86dgaproto. As far as I see, the only thing that depends on this is the DGA driver which is not built by default. So it'd be nice if the dep were controlled via an use flag or the dga driver were disabled/enabled in the ebuild. Also, $(use_with X) does nothing, it should be $(use_with X x).
Created attachment 161660 [details, diff] xaos-3.4.ebuild.patch Proposed patch for the ebuild.
Thank you very much for pointing this out. Wouldn't it be much cleaner to just depend on gsl for all arches and disable the generation of asm globally? I am not a big fan of these ARCH? type dependencies unless absolutely necessary. Xaos doesn't seem the kind of application that would benefit a lot from custom asm, but since I don't know xaos very well I may be totally wrong. What do you think? Thanks, Markus
I don't know the package either... so I have no idea if it's worth using the x86 asm. And I'm on amd64, so I'll use gsl anyway ;)

I just fixed this in cvs by adding sci-libs/gsl as mandatory dependency and forcing its use. Best, Markus
