Strips unsafe -O? flags from CFLAGS
Comment 2 Eric Shattow 2004-12-21 17:26:50 UTC
if you want to take my suggestion (which has helped me), then...
relax your C FLAGS to '-march=athlon-4 -O2 -mno-sse' and recompile everything on your box 'emerge -e world'.   then give us a backtrace.  (gdb /usr/bin/whatever;  run;  make it go boom, and then 'bt full')

this is probably the movaps disaster bug.  movaps on non-sixteen-byte aligned memory, affects gcc 3.4.x compiled programs especially.  not planned to be fixed in gcc mainline for some time.  disabling SSE code generation has fixed a host of troubles for me (i use gcc 3.4.x too).
Comment 3 Jan Brinkmann (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-02 09:25:16 UTC
please pick up jnc's suggestion, afterwards provide the gdb backtrace. thanks
