• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Robin Johnson 2003-09-13 17:21:29 UTC]

bison-1.875 fails to compile:
gcc   -O3 -march=athlon-xp -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe   -o 
bison  LR0.o assoc.o closure.o complain.o conflicts.o derives.o files.o

however:

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
'emerge bison'

I can't reproduce this on any other machine I have however, which makes me very 
suspicous.
Actual Results:  
gcc   -O3 -march=athlon-xp -funroll-loops -fprefetch-loop-arrays -pipe   -o

Expected Results:  
compile bison properly.

What binutils, have you tried to down CFLAGS a bit ?

sorry, i don't have access to this machine anymore since I got fired :-(.
