Bug 262188 – dev-libs/glib-{2.16.6,2.18.4} - {standard input}:63: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `cmpxchg'

• Status: RESOLVED INVALID
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sasha Polonsky 2009-03-11 20:01:09 UTC]

Glib of the versions mentioned in bug summary just fail to emerge on x86_64 machine. Without Glib, there is no syslog-ng and no Midnight Commander - which for me means no Gentoo Linux at all. The bug appears with MAKEPOPTS=-j4 and with MAKEOPTS=-j1, as well as both with CFLAGS="-O3" and CFLAGS="-O2". Some additional info attached.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run emerge glib (which will start emerging glib-2.16.6)
2. See error message
3. export ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
4. Run emerge "=dev-libs/glib-2.18.4" (which will start emerging glib-2.18.4)
5. See error message
6. Enjoy your Gentoo without syslog-ng and mc.

This may have something to do with it;
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86"
CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"
CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe"
CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu"

[Comment 5 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) 2009-03-12 18:08:49 UTC]

You have set an x86 profile while you run an amd64 (x86_64) Gentoo system. Please fix that by all means before you report any more bugs.

[Comment 6 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2009-03-12 18:12:06 UTC]

To clarify this a bit further, although you are running an Intel CPU, you should set
  ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64"
as this is the official arch for any x86_64 system in Gentoo. This has historical reasons and cannot be changed to x86_64 easily.

[Comment 7 Lars Wendler (Polynomial-C) (RETIRED) 2009-03-12 18:19:42 UTC]

And of course set your /etc/make.profile symlink to an amd64 profile as well.
