Enabling sse and mmx on gimp for amd64 works OK. At least gimp-2.2 compiled and ran fine with the following patch applied: --- /usr/portage/media-gfx/gimp/gimp-2.2.3.ebuild 2005-02-03 13:18:25.000000000 +0900 +++ /usr/portage-chutz/media-gfx/gimp/gimp-2.2.3.ebuild 2005-02-04 07:17:28.837444077 +0900 @@ -86,8 +86,10 @@ if use hardened; then ewarn "hardened use flag suppressing mmx use flag" HARDENED_SUPPRESS_MMX="--disable-mmx" - else + elif use x86; then HARDENED_SUPPRESS_MMX="`use_enable mmx`" + elif use amd64; then + HARDENED_SUPPRESS_MMX="--enable-mmx" fi local myconf @@ -99,6 +101,7 @@ "${HARDENED_SUPPRESS_MMX}" \ ${myconf} \ `use_enable sse` \ + `use amd64 && echo --enable-sse` \ `use_enable altivec` \ `use_enable doc gtk-doc` \ `use_enable python` \
SSE doesn't seem to work here, your patch did not seem to enable it properly when building. I got the following error when trying to enable sse and mmx on my system, cryos ~ # emerge -v gimp Calculating dependencies ...done! >>> emerge (1 of 1) media-gfx/gimp-2.2.3 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) gimp-2.2.3.tar.bz2 >>> md5 src_uri ;-) gimp-help-2-0.6.tar.gz >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking gimp-2.2.3.tar.bz2 to /var/tmp/portage/gimp-2.2.3/work >>> Unpacking gimp-help-2-0.6.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/gimp-2.2.3/work * Applying ltmain_sh-1.5.0-fix-relink.patch ...

Ah, somebody put "${myconf}" in quotes, which breaks the ebuild if myconf is empty. Sorry, but not my fault. Patch works fine. Though it's weird because http://www.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/*checkout*/media-gfx/gimp/gimp-2.2.3.ebuild shows that ${myconf} has no quotes, and no revisions besides the original.
My bad - I tested this out again and all works well. Thanks for the report, this is in CVS now.
