Bug 146938 – nvidia-kernel (& glx) fail to build properly or crash with gcc-4.1

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED TEST-REQUEST

[Description nobody 2006-09-09 04:47:07 UTC]

I cannot compile nvidia drivers (or kernel & glx) & run them until i switch back to gcc-3.4.6
Saw many bugs related to nvidia that seems closed to that one, but noone said it's a gcc problem yet.

What i'm not getting is that i have nvidia-drivers-1.0.8774 working fine with gcc4.1 on my other computer (but kernel is 2.6.17 on that one)

gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.4
 [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6 *
 [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardened

 [6] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.4.6-hardenednossp
 [7] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.1

Your kernel is outdated like hell. Also, if you need an ancient card, go test x11-drivers/nvidia-legacy-drivers instead.
