Bug 253457 – app-misc/flasm-1.6.2 fails to build under bison-2.x

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description RB 2009-01-02 17:05:47 UTC]

app-misc/flasm fails to compile under the 2.x series of Bison in portage with varying failures ("midrule X has no declared type", etc.).  This seems to be due to 2.x being more strict on syntax.

Upstream has a patch (upcoming attachment) that works for me under x86/hardened (gcc-3.4.6-r2/bison-2.4) and amd64/multilib(gcc-4.3.2-r2/bison-2.3, bison-2.4.1).  Stated goal is to release it with/as 1.63, but I have no idea of the timeline.

flasm-1.6.2 patch to work with bison-2.x

Simple ebuild update adding the below patch to the ebuild works well for me:
