(In reply to comment #3) > Your problem very well might stem from the fact that you are using -O3 Getting it too with the following CFLAGS (yea its a bit ricery): -w -mtune=athlon-mp -march=athlon-mp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -momit-leaf- frame-pointer -msse -m3dnow -mfpmath=sse,387 -frename-registers -malign- functions=4 -fweb -ftracer even reducing it to -O0: CFLAGS=".w -O0" emerge games-emulation/ps2emu-gssoft gives the same error (this assumes emerge respects CFLAGS given on command line ?)
Try adding, ironically enough, "-fpic" to your CFLAGS. This will generate PIC code. And also make sure not to do USE -pic this time.
your PIC advice will just confuse people users should not touch USE=pic or -fpic/-fPIC in their CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, end of story fixed the cpuid PIC issue in cvs
