Forked from bug 255208 comment #4 as that bug deals with different cause of the same error message. It happens with the stable app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23 and with app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23-r1 from the vmware overlay. The last error from the build is: In file included from /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23-r1/work/vmmon-only/linux/driver.c:31: /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23-r1/work/vmmon-only/./include/compat_wait.h:78: error: conflicting types for ‘poll_initwait’ include/linux/poll.h:65: error: previous declaration of ‘poll_initwait’ was here /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23/work/vmmon-only/./include/compat_wait.h: #ifdef VMW_HAVE_EPOLL // { #define compat_poll_wqueues struct poll_wqueues #else // } { #define compat_poll_wqueues poll_table #endif // } The problem is that VMW_HAVE_EPOLL is not defined. /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23/work/vmmon-only/Makefile.kernel: EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(call vm_check_build, $(SRCROOT)/autoconf/nopage1.c, -DVMW_NOPAGE_261, -DVMW_NOPAGE_261__OFF) EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(call vm_check_build, $(SRCROOT)/autoconf/skas1.c, -DVMW_SKAS_MMAP, -DVMW_SKAS_MMAP__OFF) EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(call vm_check_build, $(SRCROOT)/autoconf/epoll.c, -DVMW_HAVE_EPOLL, -DVMW_HAVE_EPOLL__OFF) EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(call vm_check_build, $(SRCROOT)/autoconf/setnice.c, -DVMW_HAVE_SET_USER_NICE, -DVMW_HAVE_SET_USER_NICE__OFF) EXTRA_CFLAGS += $(call vm_check_build, $(SRCROOT)/autoconf/smpcall.c, -DVMW_HAVE_SMP_CALL_3ARG, -DVMW_HAVE_SMP_CALL_3ARG__OFF) vm_check_build is defined in /var/tmp/portage/app-emulation/vmware-modules-1.0.0.23/work/vmmon-only/Makefile It calls gcc, which fails with the error "-pg and -fomit-frame-pointer are incompatible" So the root cause is that I switched on FTRACE (Kernel hacking / Kernel Function Tracer) in the kernel configuration recently. See also http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-10/msg00499.html
I have this problem as well, beginning with the upgrade to gentoo-sources-2.6.29-r5. I don't recall specifically enabling FTRACE (don't even know what it is), but apparently it's enabled: # grep -i ftrace .config CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE=y CONFIG_HAVE_FTRACE_MCOUNT_RECORD=y I'd be fine just disabling FTRACE as a workaround, but I can't even find where the option is set. It appears to be under Kernel Hacking (based both on Peter's comment as well as my .config file), but I can't find anything at all in there that seems to relate to FTRACE. All I have enabled in the whole section is: (2048) Warn for starck frames larger than [*] Sysctl checks [*] Enable verboxe x86 bootup info messages -*= Early printk (<--can't seem to disable) [ ] Early printk via EHCI debug port [*] Allow gcc to uninline functions marked 'inline' Any suggestions on either a fix or a workaround?
Jared, I think -r1 fixes the problem. It's ~arch though.

I had this same problem in 1.0.0.23 (using kernel 2.6.30-gentoo-r4). Unmasking vmware-modules-1.0.0.24 resolved the issue.

fixed in 1.0.0.25
