Description Andrew Aladjev 2020-02-18 22:17:51 UTC
Hello. I've discussed the following issue https://gitlab.com/gnutls/gnutls/issues/941 in nettle mailing lists but I can't provide a link, mailing list archives updates twice a month.

For now nettle supports only arm v7 and above https://gitlab.com/gnutls/nettle/-/blob/master/arm/README. So for arm and armeb v5-v6 have to use nettle with disabled assembler. Otherwise nettle and all dependencies (like gnutls) will fail.

Please add the following line into the nettle ebuild:

$(use_enable asm assembler)

It will populate "--enable-assembler" and "--disable-assembler" options and it will help arm users. I've tested it using qemu-user - it works perfect.

Thank you.

Reproducible: Always
