On the Alpha platform, gcc-2.95.3-r7 and gcc-2.95.3-r8 do not compile. I am using gcc 3.2.2. Here's the tail end of the failure: ./xgcc -B/usr/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/bin/ -B./ -I/usr/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/include -c -o crtbegin.o -x assembler /var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/config/alpha/crtbegin.asm /var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/config/alpha/crtbegin.asm: Assembler messages: /var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/gcc-2.95.3/gcc/config/alpha/crtbegin.asm:118: Error: symbol `__dso_handle' is already defined make[2]: *** [crtbegin.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/build/gcc' make[1]: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gcc-2.95.3-r8/work/build/gcc' make: *** [bootstrap-lean] Error 2 If the patches in portage are not applied by the ebuild, gcc compiles perfectly. So, we either need to check if the platform is x86 before patching, or not apply the patches at all. I'm glad to help out if someone can point me in the right direction. I currently have my own ebuild that applies no patches. Jacob Joseph AUTON Lab (www.autonlab.org) Carnegie Mellon University
My original post seems to have disappeared during the upgrade of bugs.gentoo.org. I'll repost: On the Alpha platform, gcc-2.95.3-r7 and gcc-2.95.3-r8 do not compile. I am using gcc 3.2.2.

Reassigning because Chouser no longer has an Alpha system...
Found a more complete Alpha patch on the AXP lists, fixed in cvs. reporter: please emerge sync and test my changes, if you still have a problem you can REOPEN this bug.
