Well, as my description is to long, the same can be found in http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-p-3464006.html , a bit more verbose. emerge failed upgrading: media-libs/libmpeg3-1.5.2-r3 [1.5.2] USE="mmx%" 0 kB see attachment for output. The "video/output.c" shows inline assembler on the specified lines. My cat /proc/cpuinfo shows: processor : 0 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 4 model name : AMD Athlon(TM)Processor stepping : 4 cpu MHz : 1400.720 cache size : 256 KB fdiv_bug : no hlt_bug : no f00f_bug : no coma_bug : no fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 1 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 sep mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 mmx fxsr syscall mmxext 3dnowext 3dnow bogomips : 2802.97 , so I'm quite sure that my cpu supports mmx. Still adding "=media-libs/libmpeg3-1.5.2-r3 -mmx" to my /etc/portage/package.use solves the problem, but as I can imagine it's pretty slow without mmx, right? And why not use it when your processor supports it? Does anyone have an Idea why I'm getting the error? And does anyone else experience such problems? Could it be due to the fact that I'm still using a 32bit processor? Or is it related to mmx mmx2...? ok, thx...

Created attachment 92435 [details] output of emerge
Removing "-fforce-addr" from CFLAGS did help. The ebuild now compiles through, even with mmx, but as the manpage of gcc doesn't sound as if -fforce-addr can break something I don't know whether to mark the bug as fixed or not... you decide ;) thx for your help though.
Fall back to a simple CFLAGS="-O2" and try again.
I had the same error. Falling back to -O2 fixed it. Would it possible to add "use mmx && replace-flags -O[3-9] -O2" to the ebuild?
You didn't post any errors.
(In reply to comment #5) > You didn't post any errors. > well, if you consider an ebuild which doesn't emerge not an error... could you plese define what an error is? (perhaps also see the attachment???) I think it's a problem of that ebuild. I didn't encounter any problems with all the other ebuilds I emerged and the gcc-man-page doesn't sound as if the -fforce-addr could do any damage at all.
(In reply to comment #6) > plese define what an error is? (perhaps also see the attachment???) Sorry, I've missed the attachment...
Christopher, what are your CFLAGS? Only -O3?

you're telling the compiler to store memory addresses in general registers and then trying to compile handmade ASM that expects to have these registers available. voila, register starvation.
In simpler words: Remove "-fforce-addr" from your CFLAGS.
(Sorry for the last comment, wrong bug.)
adding filter-flags -fforce-addr as the first line in the src_compile() function in the ebuild fixed the problem for me. My CFLAGS is CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -fforce-addr -pipe"
(In reply to comment #12) > adding > > filter-flags -fforce-addr > CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3 -mmmx -msse -m3dnow -fforce-addr -pipe" You know there is no obligation for developers to filter out ricer flags? And -march=athlon-xp allready implents -mmmx -msse -m3dnow and you shouldn't have them in make.conf? It builds with sane CFLAGS and that's enough, IMO. comment #9 is only sanish comment I've seen so far.

-fforce-addr in itself isn't a ricer flag and it would be nice to have the combinations -O3/-fforce-addr respective -finline-functions/-fforce-addr filtererd out. Would the media-video herd mind, if I add the extra bits, instead accumulating dupes?

At the same time, if you could also check this for libmpeg3-1.7 and filter the flag if needed, that'd be perfect. Thanks. Alexis.

I experimented with -O3 and -fforce-addr with an antenna simulation software not in portage, the nec2 software. The result was, with gcc-3.4.5, at the program was compiling both with and without -fforce-addr, but the result of the simulation was wrong in some test cases with -O3 alone, when it was correct with -O3 -fforce-addr. Another result I get was huge compilation time with -O3 fforce-addr, a much bigger executable, and a program that was not executing faster as with -O2 alone. In consequence, at a program compile with -O3 doesn't mean at the resulting code is correct and that even when the program did compile and run. Tests are needed. Another consequence is at it is better to use -O2 as -O3 fforce-addr, because the execution time will be the same but the compilation time and the loading time will be shorter with -O2. I don't know what will be the result with gcc-4+ because I went back to -O2 in make.conf when upgrading.
Added filtering to libmpeg3-1.5.2-r3. libmpeg3-1.7 seems to work without filtering.
