Description Rudo Thomas 2006-07-03 12:12:05 UTC
Hi.

I get a warning in each file when building busybox-1.1.3:
warning: SSE instruction set disabled, using 387 arithmetics

This is probably due to having "-mfpmath=sse" in CFLAGS.

Probably a filter-flags should go to the ebuild, as I believe the instructions are disabled deliberately.

Rudo.

i dont see the bug
Comment 2 Rudo Thomas 2006-07-03 13:28:40 UTC
OK, let me elaborate.

When certain setting (-mfpmath=sse) is in the CFLAGS, the compiler prints a warning when compiling each and every file. While the resulting binaries are okay, I do consider this behavior a bug nevertheless.

To reproduce, add -mfpmath=sse to CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf and emerge busybox.

What do you mean by "i dont see the bug" -- are you unable to reproduce, OR do you think that printing the same warning for each file is not a bug?
