When I try to emerge xine-ib the following error is hit: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../.. -I../../.. -I../../../include -I../../../include -I../../../src -I../../../src/xine-engine -I../../../src/xine-engine -I../../../src/xine-utils -I../../../src/input -I../../../src/input -I../../../lib -DHAVE_MMX -mtune=pentiumpro -O3 -pipe -falign-functions=4 -falign-loops=4 -falign-jumps=4 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2 -fexpensive-optimizations -fschedule-insns2 -fno-strict-aliasing -ffast-math -funroll-loops -finline-functions -Wall -DNDEBUG -D_REENTRANT -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -DXINE_COMPILE -Wpointer-arith -Wnested-externs -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wmissing-declarations -Wmissing-prototypes -mcpu=pentium4 -mtune=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -fno-web -funit-at-a-time -mno-sse2 -mno-sse3 -ffunction-sections -MT mmx.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/mmx.Tpo -c mmx.c -o .libs/mmx.o mmx.h: In function `mmx_supported': mmx.h:74: error: PIC register `ebx' clobbered in `asm' make[4]: *** [mmx.lo] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xine-lib-1_rc7/work/xine-lib-1-rc7/src/post/goom' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xine-lib-1_rc7/work/xine-lib-1-rc7/src/post' make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xine-lib-1_rc7/work/xine-lib-1-rc7/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xine-lib-1_rc7/work/xine-lib-1-rc7' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

I fixed the fact that the CXXFLAGS were not = to CFLAGS. Tried to re-emerge. Did not work. As well, it might be relevant that I emerged gcc-3.4.3 recently, and had to do a gcc-config 3, a fix_lib_tool.sh, and modify the gcc SPECS variable in /etc/env.d/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.3.
Fixed by switching to gcc-config sources which were not hardened.
