Bug 22439 – mozilla-firebird-0.6 fails to compile if -msse2 is in the CFLAGS with the message "Error: suffix or operands invalid for `movd'"

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Christian Apolloni 2003-06-08 07:34:48 UTC]

The compile fails if -msse2 is in CFLAGS.
The emerge is successful if the -msse2 flag is removed.

I noticed the problem with -r3 and -r4 but I haven't tried other ebuilds with
the problematic flag. BTW in the forums I noticed a discussion that might be
related even if speaking about Mozilla:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=15193

I attach the output of the failed emerge.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge mozilla-firebird with -msse2 in the CFLAGS
Actual Results:  
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:181: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `movd'

Expected Results:  
Successful emerge.

Output of the failed emerge

Seems that filter-flags -msse2 should be added in the case where it ratchets Pentium4 down to Pentium3, otherwise evil things will happen.

This bug seems to affect the Mozilla ebuild as well

[Comment 4 Brad Laue (RETIRED) 2003-06-08 12:12:58 UTC]

Fixed in -r5
