The alsa-lib package will compiled with -fPIC -DPIC for both static and shared libraries. env CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=ev5 -fomit-frame-pointer -mieee -fPIC -DPIC -pipe" \ emerge alsa-lib otherwise you will get the following assembly errors: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../../include -I../../include -O2 -mcpu=ev5 -fomit-frame-pointer -mieee -pipe -MT control.lo -MD -MP -MF .deps/control.Tpo -c control.c -o control.o {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:6398: Warning: Tried to .set unrecognized mode `snd_ctl_elem_info_get_dimensions' {standard input}:6398: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `,' {standard input}:6449: Warning: Tried to .set unrecognized mode `snd_ctl_elem_info_get_dimension' {standard input}:6449: Error: junk at end of line, first unrecognized character is `,' This also could be due to the outdated gcc 3.3.2 package being used on alpha while other archs have moved onto 3.3.5
alsa-lib-1.0.9 was just marked stable for Alpha. Can you please confirm that the error you reported in the bug still happens? I was successfully able to emerge it tonight without any issues.
Yes, it compiles now. I'll have an eye on it regarding bugs, but as far as I'm concerned, that would be a new bug, so I'm closing this one.
