Bugzilla Bug 115242

Problem exists only in plotutils-2.4.1-r3.ebuild.
It only affects k6, k6-2, and k6-3 users.

It appeared when someone converted a bunch of sed statements to replace-cpu-flags.
It could have also been caused by a syntax change to replace-cpu-flags, but I'm not sure.
This bug could make Bug #14488 come back.

Patch is attached.

Patch to fix use of replace-cpu-flags.

Looking back at Bug 14488, I'm wondering if the original cause for the problem
was related to 
this GCC bug:

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20653

Bug 14488 was reported in 2003, but it still could have been a GCC bug at that
point, just an 
unreported one.

I'm CC'ing Mark on this now, because perhaps this is enough motivation to
backport the GCC 
team's fix.  Is it?  Let me know.

*** Bug 115241 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

I can't reproduce that error on gcc-3.4.4-r1 with CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k6-2
-mcpu=k6-2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ftracer".  Yea, I commented out the
replace-cpu-flags too :)  Doesn't look too difficult to backport that patch, but
I'd rather not do it if we don't have to.

Feel free to commit whatever is needed to fix it.

please fix this yourself or close it if you are no longer interested

I committed the patch for now as an unstable r4 version.  Next step is to get
it marked stable on all archs, which I'll handle after a couple days to watch
for fallout.

@printing - can we stabilize -r4? 

CCing arches, pretty stale one... :Please stabilize

 Same on x86

on x86:

> > FAIL: plot2ps.test

the same here with plotutils-2.4.1-r4  USE="X". that said,

sci-visualization/gnuplot-4.0-r1  USE="... plotutils ..."

seems to work as it did before with the new plotutils revision.

I corrected the test suite.  The two files to be compared had a differing
comment which caused the failure.  x86 stable

sparc stable.

Stable on ppc

amd64 stable

ppc64 stable

ia64 stable

ppc-macos degraded the old version to ~arch instead, it should go to prefix
anyway

ppc-macos moved to prefix

alpha stable
