Bug 29799 – patch to make Mozilla compile on amd64

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Brad House 2003-09-28 06:59:41 UTC]

patchset derived from Mandrake amd64 patches.
Also includes ebuild patch against 1.4-r4 
Please note the requirement of the static C Flags.  Anything higher
causes Mozilla to segfault on startup.

only one thing.. maybe putting the CFLAGS in the optimise part is not right?...
 Appart from that, from my point of view it seems right..

Well, if you leave -O2 in there, mozilla refuses to start (or it does, then
immediately segfaults).  I guess I need to make another variable, then make
that arch-dependant, set it to -O -fPIC for amd64, and  -O2 for everything
else. I don't like the way it currently hardcodes -O2 in the optimize part
...

mozilla ebuild patch

This patch sets -O2 for enable optimize for all platforms
except amd64 ; amd64 uses the static CFLAGS we set for stability.
This should get rid of the concerns mentioned by Tester.
