Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2020-05-29 06:49:42 UTC
This is an auto-filed bug because sys-power/athcool fails to compile with -fno-common or gcc-10.
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.

NOTE:
To reproduce this issue you may want to set CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fno-common" or compile it with gcc-10 that enables -fno-common by default.

Maybe it's time to put this one out to pasture? The upstream URL's dead and iirc the only thing athcool actually did was to call HLT in a loop to enter C2, which newer kernels (basically anything after 2.4) do automatically.

(In reply to Anthony Parsons from comment #2)

Reading the code, it appears to do more than that. The docs say it flips some bit(s) in a register in the motherboard chipset.

Anyway, this certainly seems like something that should be handled in the kernel, not userspace.
