When trying to emerge kdelibs-3.3.2-r2 on my amd64, configure fails with configure: error: Fast malloc is not supported on this platform (missing spinlock implementation). The culprit seems to be the .ebuild file, which sets --enable-fast-malloc=full on x86. This conflicts with a check in "configure.in", which only allows this option for i?86. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -uD kdebase 2. 3. Actual Results: configure: error: Fast malloc is not supported on this platform (missing spinlock implementation). Expected Results: It shouldn't have tried to use fast malloc :-) Commenting out the line use x86 && myconf="$myconf --enable-fast-malloc=full" in the ebuild yields a successful build.
Assigning to amd64 herd. As none reported this problem before I suppose that that option worked on all the AMD64 systems that installed kde.
What makes this even more confusing is that this has been around for a while. Perhaps "use x86" should yield "false" on amd64, but doesn't for some reason ?
What's your 'emerge info'?

Do we support running a x86 profile on a amd64 processor?
no. but if you mean a amd64 box in x86 box, yes, but then it's no longer amd64 arch.
This is simply no amd64 problem, sorry guys. Reassigning to KDE herd.
Regarding ia32 on amd64: On my amd64 systems, I also have an ia32 installation, accessed through linux32 chroot ... The 32 and 64 bit worlds share /usr/portage, /tmp, /root, and /home locally and all of my systems share /usr/portage through NFS. I always boot amd64 natively.
Created attachment 50778 [details, diff] amd64-fast-malloc.patch I don't think I have grasped what we should do. Maybe something like the attached patch? I leave it to someone that knows more than me to send the patch upstream in case.
Gregorio, if I've figured out the use of ebuild correctly, this patch did indeed yield a successful build, and I could run konqueror using the new libraries. Thanks !
If you're not having any problem with the patch, could you please report it to http://bugs.kde.org so that they can properly evaulate it?
Closing as invalid: when you run an x86 profile on an amd64 box, you must set the CHOST as it was an i686 box.
