In Prefix on Cygwin (~x64-cygwin), because of the -mindirect-branch=thunk compiler flag, linking eix.exe fails with lots of these: relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32S against `.text' Reported upstream as https://github.com/vaeth/eix/issues/64 In lack of a real fix, this bug is about the downstream workaround to disable -mindirect-branch=thunk for Cygwin.
Created attachment 579696 [details, diff] proposed ebuild patch Ok to push?
Can't you disable them via autoconf cache variables? Seds on configure are awfully ugly.
I fail to find MV_ADDFLAGS defining a cache variable per checked flag.
I think setting mv_fCXXFLAGS_cache should work here.
Created attachment 580636 [details, diff] proposed ebuild patch, r1 Indeed... interesting use of a cache variable. Patch updated, for 0.33.8 now. Given that upstream removed the flag completely, should we drop the cygwin conditional here as well?

That sounds fine. I'll do that for ya and merge it.
