actually it compiles just fine ... root@vapier 0 root # cat /var/db/pkg/net-im/gaim-0.68/CFLAGS -march=pentium4 -O2 -frename-registers -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -mfpmath=sse -mmmx -msse -msse2 -fdelete-null-pointer-checks -funroll-loops -ffast-math -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE perhaps it's your usage of march/mcpu that's messing it up ? or perhaps the multiple job support that you have ? cant say really since you didnt post compile errors ;)

try it w/out mcpu=i686 (i think it'll still die ...) could be just with gcc-3.2.3 ... works fine with 3.3.1 :)
Same error. You have to understand that "regular" users don't still use gcc 3.3.1
i know, but the point is filtering out -msse2 for everyone who uses gcc is dumb if only certain versions are affected ... we know that 3.2 is broken, so we can say: [ "`gcc-version`" == "3.2" ] && filter-flags -msse2 i hate filtering flags for ppl who can use them
The -msse2 flag on its own isn't causing the problem; the error seems to be caused by using -msse2 under certain combinations of CFLAGS: -march=pentium4 -Ox -msse2 compiles ok -march=pentium3 -O3 -msse2 won't compile -march=pentium3 -O2 -msse2 won't compile -march=pentium3 -O1 -msse2 won't compile -march=pentium3 -Os -msse2 compiles ok -march=pentium3 -msse2 compiles ok -march=pentium2 -O3 -msse2 won't compile -march=pentium2 -O2 -msse2 won't compile -march=pentium2 -O1 -msse2 won't compile -march=pentium2 -Os -msse2 compiles ok -march=pentium2 -msse2 compiles ok -O3 -msse2 won't compile -O2 -msse2 won't compile -O1 -msse2 won't compile -Os -msse2 compiles ok -msse2 compiles ok I'm not sure how -msse2 fares using gcc-3.3.x :)
It compiled fine with gcc 3.3.1
so basically this is fairly silly, I'm leaving it alone for now... will ponder more later.
is this fixed up to 0.71 ? or gcc3 upstream ?
So is this really a gcc bug or USE flag issue? It definitely seems beyond just gaim.
This ebuild isn't in portage anymore. This bug should be closed.
As I said earlier I don't think this problem is a gaim problem, but somewhat of a gcc issue. Do others agree/disagree?
I've had it with this bug staring me in the face. From Brandy's comments it seems like a gcc thing, not a gaim thing. Andre does this behavior happen for you in gaim-0.75-r8? I will close this bug relatively soon unless I hear that it is definitely a gaim thing and persists in 0.75.
since I've only been using gcc 3.3.1, it has always compiled fine.
For some reason I didn't see Spanky's suggestion of filtering -msse2 for gcc-version 3.2. I'm going to implement that in existing gaim-0.75-r8 and close this out.
