x11-misc/xscreensaver ebuild has these lines, filter-flags -mabi=altivec filter-flags -maltivec append-flags -U__VEC__ to workaround altivec related building problems with "flurry" screensaver, but as you can see those flags are being forced to everyone and not just for the offending file. If we could rid of it, that'd be cool! Can one of you powerpc members provide the failure log so we can look at the problem? Problem from myside is lack of powerpc hardware. :-/
this is the error I'm getting without the setted flags: flurry.h:72: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'vector' flurry.h:79: error: expected specifier-qualifier-list before 'vector' flurry.h:176: error: expected '=', ',', ';', 'asm' or '__attribute__' before 'float' I've wrapped the filter-/append-flags in a "use ppc/ppc64" in 5.05 (while fixing bug #214870)
