if i choose this in make.conf # Pentium Pro/Pentium II/Pentium III+/Pentium 4/Athlon exclusive (binaries # will use the P6 instruction set and only run on P6+ systems) #CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" #CFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" #CXXFLAGS="-march=i686 -O3 -pipe" and build dev-python/python-fchks, the resuilting /usr/lib/python2.2/site- packages/fchksum.so causes segfaults in emerge. this is on a pentium II urlicht # cat /proc/cpuinfo processor : 0 vendor_id : GenuineIntel cpu family : 6 model : 5 model name : Pentium II (Deschutes) stepping : 0 cpu MHz : 333.136 ....(snip) changing to # Pentium Pro/Pentium II/Pentium III+/Pentium 4/Athlon optimized (but binaries # will run on any x86 system) CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=i686 -O3 -pipe" works just fine. this is at best a small curiosity, but it took me (a seasoned linux user) a couple of hours to figure out, and i had another gentoo box i could pull usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/fchksum.so off of... i only mention it because someone else not as well versed as me could have been quite put off by this, so perhaps the original compiler settings should be deprecated in favor of the second set. thanks, though. gentoo runs like a greased penguin on a...well, on a very slippery surface. bryson borg
Which compiler? This sounds like an optimization bug. Hmmm.
Hi, can you confirm wether this bug still affects you? Also if so, I would appreciate if you can let me know which gcc you are running. Thanks.
NO answer from user, someone reopen this bug with some info if it still exists
db fix
