Just to add a little information.. This only happens if I try emerging on
a gcc 3.2.3 system, gcc 3.3.1 seems fine.

Also gcc 3.x problems, so it appears this will get fixed upstream.

[Comment 3 Jonathan Singer 2003-10-16 08:52:28 UTC]

Same issue here -- also with gcc 3.2.3, using CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=athlon -funroll-loops
-pipe", if that matters.

[Comment 4 John Mylchreest (RETIRED) 2003-10-16 08:58:24 UTC]

can you please try compiling this using CFLAGS="O3 -mcpu=<insertarch> -pipe"
MAKEOPTS="-j1" and report back.

Thanks

[Comment 5 M. Iffland 2003-10-17 11:55:41 UTC]

Nothing changed with suggested options -j1 and -mcpu=athlon-xp 

is there a way of getting a buildpckg? (i know it doesn't belong here so
if no one answers that's fine) 

[Comment 6 Peter 2003-10-22 02:16:21 UTC]

I had the same problem.
Niether USE flags nor CFLAGS could help me.
For me the problem was in ssl-patch. So. I just commented line in ebuild:

#       epatch ${FILESDIR}/${PV}-openssl.patch
And now it works for me...

[Comment 7 WiseLYNX 2003-10-29 02:35:01 UTC]

I just tryied to remove the ssl patch from the ebuild, as suggested in a
previous comment by Peter, and all worked fine for me too.

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2003-10-29 21:21:08 UTC]

if you guys have gcc-3.2.3 then you're probably running stable ...
what version of openssl do you have ?

[Comment 10 SpanKY 2003-11-03 16:49:27 UTC]

ok, it seems the patch is needed for openssl 0.9.7 but not 0.9.6 (in fact,
it makes it fail with 0.9.6)

i added a check to the ebuild for this
