Normally I use CFLAGS="-march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -ffast-math -fexpensive-optimizations -funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -fforce-addr -falign-functions=4 -msse2 -mmmx -mfpmath=sse" I once reported a firebird bug which was solved by making these CFLAGS less aggressive. No I wondered again why my new compiled firebord does not start at all! When I issue MozillaFirebird nothing happens, it does not crash or come back to the prompt, though. I solved that Problem by env CFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium4 -O3" CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=pentium4 -O3" emerge mozilla-firebird-cvs And it runs great now. I will try to find out what CFLAG triggers the error, but may be somebody has the right idea at once. Regards, Konsti Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
