Description Cletus Lichte 2004-03-26 20:58:48 UTC 
During the configure stage, endeavour incorrectly identifies my CPU as a i686, I have a Via C3 which requires software to be compiled as i586.  The resulting binary gives the error:  Illegal instruction

emerge info:

Comment 1 Cletus Lichte 2004-03-26 21:25:07 UTC 
Ok, I ran ebuild endeavour-2.3.6 unpack and then went to the work dir to play with the configure script.  I found that I can use the --disable="arch-i686" flag and now it will run on my box.  I know that you don't want this arch disabled on all platforms so I won't attach the patched ebuild, but isn't there a way for an ebuild to check what CPU settings are in /etc/make.conf and then use different configure flags accordingly?
Comment 2 Hanno Böck gentoo-dev 2004-12-22 16:00:09 UTC 
The endeavour-configure seems to be quite buggy and doesn't reflect the use-flags given to it.
Please report this upstream or provide a patch that'll fix it generally without breaking on other cpus.
