I don't get the error myself, as I have gcc-4.1.1 but I verified that it chooses that option to be used. Snipet from "emerge hwinfo": gcc -c -Wall -Wno-pointer-sign -O2 -pipe -g -fPIC -march=pentium4 -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe And here's a link to see where the actual error "in action": http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-485785-highlight-.html robbat2@gentoo.org 2006-08-02 10:20:43 0000 /me kicks upstream. it would be nice if they documented things like that... furlongm@gmail.com 2006-08-07 09:30:56 0000 Created an attachment (id=93674) files/hwinfo-13.0-makefile-fixes.patch uncomment the following existing line in the ebuild: EPATCH_OPTS="-p1 -d ${S}" epatch ${FILESDIR}/${P}-makefile-fixes.patch This fixes the compilation problem under gcc3 jakub@gentoo.org 2006-09-20 03:36:44 0000 *** Bug 148241 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** cshobe@seattleserver.com 2006-09-20 10:05:55 0000 This is especially important on hardened as gcc4 is not yet available on hardened systems due to problems. robbat2@gentoo.org 2006-09-29 15:40:30 0000 fixed in cvs. 93674 2006-08-07 09:30 0000 files/hwinfo-13.0-makefile-fixes.patch hwinfo-13.0-makefile-fixes.patch text/plain ZGlmZiAtdXJOIGh3aW5mby0xMy4wLm9yaWcvTWFrZWZpbGUuY29tbW9uIGh3aW5mby0xMy4wL01h a2VmaWxlLmNvbW1vbgotLS0gaHdpbmZvLTEzLjAub3JpZy9NYWtlZmlsZS5jb21tb24JMjAwNS0w OS0yMCAxMDozMjo1Mi4wMDAwMDAwMDAgKzAxMDAKKysrIGh3aW5mby0xMy4wL01ha2VmaWxlLmNv bW1vbgkyMDA2LTA3LTIyIDE1OjAwOjM4LjAwMDAwMDAwMCArMDEwMApAQCAtMjAsNyArMjAsNyBA QAogCiBDQwk9IGdjYwogTEQJPSBsZAotQ0ZMQUdTCT0gLVdhbGwgLVduby1wb2ludGVyLXNpZ24g LU8yIC1waXBlIC1nICQoU0hBUkVEX0ZMQUdTKSAkKEVYVFJBX0ZMQUdTKSAtSSQoVE9QRElSKS9z cmMvaGQKK0NGTEFHUwk9ICQoU0hBUkVEX0ZMQUdTKSAkKEVYVFJBX0ZMQUdTKSAtSSQoVE9QRElS KS9zcmMvaGQKIFNIQVJFRF9GTEFHUwk9IC1mUElDCiAKIExERkxBR1MJPSAtTHNyYwoK
