Bug 121493 – emerge on AMD64 X2 goes into infinite loop

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description Alan Jackson 2006-02-03 18:07:55 UTC]

I fired up the emerge last night late, and 22 hours later it was still running, repeating the text below over and over again... it was quite difficult to kill it too...
sci-libs/blas-atlas-3.6.0-r1


I am now going to ask for two C compilers, and their associated flags.
The first such set (CC & CCFLAGS) are used in compiling the non-generated
ATLAS code.  This code is written in normal C, and responds well to high
levels of optimization.  Typically, this is set to your default compiler,
and your highest levels of optimization.

The second set of C compilers (MCC & MMFLAGS) is used to compile the generated
ATLAS code.  Generated codes are written at a very low-level (think of C used
as a kind of portable assembler).  On many platforms, high levels of
optimization are detrimental, as the compiler tries to pipeline a perfectly
pipelined code, and succeeds in reducing performance substantially (this
occurs on DEC ALPHAs & Sun UltraSparcs, for instance).  If the default does
not work for you, try a midrange optimization such as -O.  The generated code
does not alias any output arguments, so aliasing optimizations should be OK.

   Enter ANSI C compiler(CC) [/usr/bin/gcc]:    Enter C Flags (CCFLAGS) [-fomit-frame-pointer -O -mfpmath=387 -m64]: Compiling with = '/usr/bin/gcc -fomit-frame-pointer -O -mfpmath=387 -m64' doesn't seem to work for me.
   Enter 1 to try different CC/flags, 0 to continue anyway [1]:

emerge --info missing.

Oops. Sorry!

Tried the newest versions (not yet marked stable) with success.
The following seems to work just fine on AMD64 X2
[ebuild  N    ] app-admin/eselect-1.0_rc2  
[ebuild  N    ] sci-libs/blas-atlas-3.7.11  
[ebuild  N    ] sci-libs/lapack-config-1.0.1  
[ebuild  N    ] sci-libs/lapack-atlas-3.7.11
