Bug 722032 – app-crypt/johntheripper-jumbo fails to compile: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-as: invalid option -- 'A'

• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2020-05-10 08:29:20 UTC]

This is an auto-filled bug because app-crypt/johntheripper-jumbo fails to compile.
The issue was originally discovered on amd64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well.
If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it.
Attached build log and emerge --info.

Not sure I get what's going on here. Fails if I set ASFLAGS but not in the same way. Possibly fixed upstream since.
