!!! ERROR: sys-apps/syslinux-2.04 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 17, Exitcode 2
!!! (no error message)



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Apparenetly ok with earlier nasm??
2.
3.




Those two lines should be comments.
If you put a space in front of the "#" its ok.

please provide use
#emerge info

did you try to turn down you CFLAGS ?

nasm version is 0.98.36

Here I have the same problem. My emerge info:

please try #revdep-rebuild
from gentoolkit

compiles here fine on stable gentoo-1.0 and stable gentoo-1.4 with latest nasm

I have this same problem.  Have dialed down CFLAGS, rebuilt nasm and mtools,
ran revdep-rebuild, etc, etc... 

The only way I was able to get it to compile was to switch to gcc 2.95.3, dial
down CFLAGS to "-march=i686 -O2" and try again.

Does not work with gcc 3.3 on any CFLAGS setting, period.

Comfirmed as bug in gcc-3.3. I've downgraded to 3.2.3 and the problem has
disappeared.

perhaps there is/was some confusion of syslinux vs selinux, reassigning bug
back to bug-wranglers

could you try 2.05 ?

  Misleading summary :) 
 
  This has nothing to do with CFLAGS, nasm, OR mtools.  Problem  
here is an error in `memdisk/Makefile', which tells gcc it is dealing  
with C code when preprocessing S files.  Didn't really matter in  
earlier versions of gcc, but now that preprocessing involves the  
language dependant backends, asm comments are misidentied as  
preprocessor directives. 
 

Created an attachment (id=16871) [edit]
syslinux-2.04_Makefile_asm-rules.diff

That should fix it in 2.04.  I'll add a patch for 2.05 as 
soon as I'm back home (Monday or Tuesday).

added the patch to 2.05 and 2.06

thanks :)

  But why call it `2.06-nasm.patch'?

  That bug is caused by an error in a Makefile that older
versions of gcc (or rather, cpp) didn't care about while 
3.3 does.

  nasm is completely innocent!

*shrug* doesnt matter too much ;)

  Yes it does.

- `nasm' assembles .asm files.
- `as' assembles .s/.S files.
- init.S16 is a (at&t-style syntax) .s file that gcc passes
  to `as' (after cpp turns it into init.s16).
  No nasm involved.

i know how the process works, i'm just saying it doesnt matter what the patch
is called ...
