configure: error: do not put -ffast-math in CFLAGS So don't do that. Seriously. Don't do that. It's bad. It's wrong. It breaks things in horrible ways.
1) removed -ffast-math from CFLAGS in /etc/make.conf 2) removed old /var/tmp/portage/dev...... 3) emerge dev-db/postgresql-base dev-db/postgresql-server 4) shouting "it worked ! it worked !it worked !"...and laughing like a madman :) ooookay. whew. thanks a lot!
