Bug 114443 – [User reports] Compiler reports error with regcomp.c when building perl

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) 2005-12-04 06:18:26 UTC]

I am reporting this on behalf of user <[e-mail]>, who filed it
with me rather than with <b.g.o> directly.  User is trying to build perl on U10
and is seeing this:
===================================================
> > !!! ERROR: dev-lang/perl-5.8.7-r2 failed.

> you will get a wider reading), but still probably not an answer.

thanks

sorry but i'm not a developer, on work i'm a Network Specialist and
advanced user on Unix platform. I'm using Gentoo from October 2005 (when
someone donate me the Ultra Sparc 10). 

I'm use your suggests but report the same error
==================================================

`sh  cflags "optimize='-O2 -mcpu=ultrasparc -pipe'" regcomp.o`

and this is the report from the emerge --info

on this information do you have any suggest ?

=================================================
My uninformed guess would be some problem with the gcc-config profile, I
understand that this is almost certainly not a perl problem, and I understand
you will all beat up on me for filing on behalf of a user. :)  At this point, I
just want to put this curiosity on record for my benefit.

So let the user stops putting USE=vanilla into make.conf and recompiles gcc.
