Bug 70335 – librep-0.17 compile fails with --with-stack-direction is incorrect

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Simon Stapleton 2004-11-07 02:00:00 UTC]

On trying to emerge librep-0.17 on my machine, I get the following error message:

REPLISPDIR=../lisp REP_DL_LOAD_PATH=../src/.libexec REPDOCFILE=../doc-strings ../src/rep --batch -l rep.vm.compiler \
  -f compile-batch rep-xgettext.jl \
&& mv rep-xgettext.jlc rep-xgettext && chmod +x rep-xgettext
 ** error: --with-stack-direction is incorrect; it should be -1
make[1]: *** [rep-xgettext] Error 10

I note that --with-stack-direction=1 has been added relatively recently to the ebuild, editing it directly in the ebuild on my machine makes the problem go away.

I'm running on a G4-upgraded Powermac 9500, initial gentoo install from the 2004.1 stage3 tarball, if that's of any relevance, 

CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=7400 -maltivec -mabi=altivec -pipe"
CHOST="powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu"

and USE-flags are standard

Simon

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge librep

Actual Results:  
 ** error: --with-stack-direction is incorrect; it should be -1


Expected Results:  
Built correctly ;-)

could you try to upgrade gcc?
