When trying to build gimp-1.3.18 with the CFLAGS set to "-march=k6-2 -O3 -pipe" using gcc-3.2.3-r1 compilation aborts after a while with the error: if gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I/usr/include/gtk-2.0 -I/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/include -I/usr/include/atk-1.0 -I/usr/include/pango-1.0 -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include -DDEFAULTPATH=\""~/.gimp-1.3/gimpressionist:/usr/share/gimp/1.3/gimpressionist"\" -DG_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_PIXBUF_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGDK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -DGTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED -g -march=k6-2 -O3 -pipe -g -g -g -Wall -MT repaint.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/repaint.Tpo" \ -c -o repaint.o `test -f 'repaint.c' || echo './'`repaint.c; \ then mv -f ".deps/repaint.Tpo" ".deps/repaint.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/repaint.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:1314: Error: value of ffffffffffffff7e too large for field of 1 bytes at 0000000000000d61 make[4]: *** [repaint.o] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/gimp-1.3.18/work/gimp-1.3.18/plug-ins/gimpressionist' This error doesn't appear with the CFLAGS set to "-march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" or the more sane if building for that host "-march=i586 -O3 -pipe" Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set the CFLAGS to "-march=k6-2 -O3 -pipe" 2. emerge gimp-1.3.18 3. wait and see how it fails
i dont have a k6, so no i wont wait and see it fail. since these are quite common cflags we might just add a replace for k6* -> i586
This was reproduced on my Athlon XP 2500+ ( Barton ) compiling it for my K6 Laptop. However, the replace seems like a sane thing to do.
fixed in 1.3.18 now. thanks for the report.
