I'm installing gentoo on a vmware box starting from a knoppix live cd. the bootstrap.sh script fails while compiling sys-deve/gettext-0.12.1 this is the error message: {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:271: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `movd' {standard input}:747: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `movd' make[3]: *** [loadmsgcat.lo] Error 1 sicne it has something to do with the assembler compilation, may be it may be related with the emulation layer introduced by vmware. Anyway I have configured make.conf using the output of cat /proc/cpuinfo as privided by the knoppix live cd Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: I followed the step described in the online installaion guide. I'm installing gentoo on a vmware box starting from a knoppix live cd. I get the error running the script/bootstrap.sh Actual Results: I get the error decribed in the additiona information Expected Results: it should have completed the boot strap script Gentoo Base System version 1.4.3.8p1 Portage 2.0.49-r21 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-xfs) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-xfs i686 Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.20GHz ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=i686 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=i686 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X apm arts avi berkdb crypt cups encode foomaticdb gdbm gif gnome gpm gtk gtk2 imlib jpeg kde libg++ libwww mad mikmod motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl oss pam pdflib png python qt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype x86 xml2 xmms xv zlib"
Does it do p4 emulation? With this: CFLAGS="-O3 -mcpu=i686 -march=pentium4 -funroll-loops -pipe" it should effective still use p4 upcodes. Think you could try with -march=i686?
it worked with -march=i686. thanks
