Multi-line string literals have been deprecated in gcc-3.3, and as10k1/as10k1.c still contains a multi-line string literal. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a system with gcc-3.3 or newer 2. Try to emerge media-sound/alsa-tools-0.9.4 Actual Results: alsa-tools fails to compile, with a multitude of syntactical errors Expected Results: alsa-tools should compile with any compiler version. There is also a warning about a label at the end of a loop, but that appears to be a necessary evil to parse the command line arguments for as10k1.

The other components, sb16_csp and sbiload fail to compile unless explicitly passed a --with-kernel=... argument for ./configure. As far as I can tell, the best solution is to pass --with-kernel=`uname -r` to all parts of the package.
Created attachment 12811 [details, diff] Fixes the multi-line string literal in as10k1.c This fixes the multi-line string literal problem in as10k1.c, but does not address the "label at the end of a loop" error.
Created attachment 12812 [details] Fix other compilation problems This is an edited ebuild to fix the compilation of 'sb16_csp' and 'sbiload', in addition to incorporating the code to automagically apply the patch for as10k1.c. May not need to be bumped to -r1, it's just how I did it... This also builds the (new?) 'sscape_ctl' and 'vxloader' programs in alsa-tools.
Seems that my bug went unfound by whoever reported #22324. The multiline string literal patch is a duplicate, but the ebuild still adds the two new components that come in alsa-tools-0.9.4. It's your choice as to whether or not this gets closed or marked as a duplicate or whatnot. Just figured I'd update this. Also moving to category "ebuilds," since I was confused as to which category this should be in (since it was a GCC-3.3 related issue...). Sorry for any inconvenience.
Version 0.9.7-r3 does NOT work either!
closing with 0.9.8
