After attempting to apply other various patches to libgii-0.9.0, emerge stops consistently at this poing: cpuinfo.o(.text+0x28): In function `main': /var/tmp/portage/libgii-0.9.0/work/libgii-0.9.0/demos/cpuinfo.c:34: undefined re ference to `ggGetSwarType' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [cpuinfo] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -march=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe -fPIC -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SA FE -DDEBUG -g -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wsign-compare -Wstrict-prototypes -Wswitch -Wmissing-prototypes -Wreturn-type -Wshadow -Wnested-externs -Wredundant-decls - Werror-implicit-function-declaration -o .libs/tasksched tasksched.o ../gg/.libs /libgg.so -ldl -lpthread creating tasksched make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libgii-0.9.0/work/libgii-0.9.0/demo s' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/libgii-0.9.0/work/libgii-0.9.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

I've tried various CFLAG combinations but this didn't work. Probelm for emerge seems to be solely held in failure of cpuinfo.c to compile. I've added two patches that bypass the demos section and allow libgii to compile and emerge successfully.
Created attachment 54713 [details, diff] removes demos/ refs from source Makefile.in
Created attachment 54714 [details, diff] removes demos/ refs from source configure.in
Created attachment 54715 [details] ebuild to apply demo removal patches during emerge
Chris: I'm pushing this to you, because you also take care of Bug 86941. The only application using this library is games-action/heroes, which would be a good good argument to force the games herd to take over maintainership, though. ;)
Before this gets shoved over to games, I started the process to update media-video/vlc! Also, while my fix below allows libgii to emerge. it does not fix the problem with the core routine that fails in the cpuinfo.c file: `ggGetSwarType' This routine is also called in media-libs/libggi which seems to be dependent upon media-libs/libgii
ggGetSwarType is defined in the GII 0.9.x libs, specifically in libgg.so I havn't looked into the demos problem, but they try to link with the library that was just built, libgg. So it may be that due to your MAKEOPTS, the demos start getting built before the actual lib is finished. Try dropping to -j1 and see if that works.
Hmm scratch that, it just built fine for me... And upon building with your precise CFLAGS, it then died for me. I tracked it down to the -fPIC flag. Disable that and it should build fine. And to be honest, you shouldn't have -fPIC/-fpic in global CFLAGS anyway. This can be fixed by filtering the -fPIC flag in the ebuild with "filter-flags -fPIC"
Thanks Dion for working out the cause of the build failure. -fPIC is now filtered in the ebuild.
