Description Shawn Teague 2005-07-09 03:46:30 UTC 
Found the error while trying to emerge util-vserver-0.30.205-r1
using linux-headers-2.6.11-r2

ERROR: from compile:
/usr/include/asm-x86_64/bitops.h: In function `__scanbit':
/usr/include/asm-x86_64/bitops.h:265: error: parse error before ':' token

FIX: IN /usr/include/asm-x86_64/bitops.h:265  CHANGE
<        asm("bsfq %1,%0 ; cmovz %2,%0" : "=&r" (val) : "r" (val), "r" (max))
>        __asm__("bsfq %1,%0 ; cmovz %2,%0" : "=&r" (val) : "r" (val), "r" (max))



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.emerge /util-vserver
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
emerge no workie

Expected Results:  
Emerge workie

Every other assemblier call is done with a __asm__() function;  this particular
line trys with a asm() function;

Looks like your basic typo

Fixed in CVS, emerge sync and remerge your headers; please reopen if issue still
persists. Thanks!
