• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Adrian Almenar 2002-11-15 07:34:36 UTC]

if these flags are set: "-msse -msse2 -mmmx" 
 
the ebuild its going to fail with this message: 
 
gcc -o prdtoa.o -c    -O3 -march=pentium3 -pipe -msse -msse2 -mmmx -mfpmath=sse

Its not my job to fix gcc, or teach the user sense ?

[Comment 2 SpanKY 2002-11-15 19:08:06 UTC]

the sse flags usually break a lot of packages ... 

[Comment 3 Adrian Almenar 2002-11-15 22:50:56 UTC]

Well, i have been using these flags, and everything compiled ok (gcc-3.2-r4 adn
glibc-2.3.1-r2) the only thing that never compiled ok with these flags was mozilla.

[Comment 4 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) 2002-11-16 14:31:06 UTC]

So as well glibc and xfree.  They however have the strip-flags.  My point is
thus:

  Should we have multiple filter-flags lines in ebuilds ?  What happens if
  gcc devs actually fix the broken optimization in gcc3 ?

I do not really want to strip-flags mozilla as well, as it can get sorda slow
on older boxes, and using saver flags might improve speed.  I am however *not*
going to clutter it with removing every flag that makes it fail.

I am also not going to test it with each flag, as its going to waiste my time.

Also, some -march's cause some flags to fail more than for others ...

Ok, done (added strip-flags).
