The ebuild crypto++-5.2.1.ebuild uses -mno-sse2 even on ppc architecture, where such a flag is not known to g++, which causes the merge to abort (g++ complaining it doesn't know this flag). Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. get a mac (-; 2. run gentoo 3. emerge crypto++-5.2.1 Actual Results: I've just commented those lines out, works like a charm now. Of course this is not severe, since ppc is marked as ~ anyway. Expected Results: Expected the ebuild to check for architecture before applying cpu flags.
