Bug 18811 – install problem with texinfo

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Description Peter Kullnigg 2003-04-05 14:55:43 UTC]

Hy,




I just wanted to install gentoo on my new linux-machine(Athlon-xp 1ghz) and set 
the CFlags to -march=athlon-xp -=2 -pipe




and the bootstrap.sh script stopped at the installation of texinfo




the only way to get the installation running was to set the CFlags to 
-mcpu=athlon-xp -02 -pipe




The problem in known in the Forums, but I didn't saw a Bugzilla entry, so I 
created it.

do you have a link to the forums thread?

I can't replicate this with texinfo-4.5.

[Comment 3 Ralph Jones 2003-04-22 01:30:42 UTC]

It is still happening with the latest gentoo installation (1.4_rc4).  Do you have a workaround so 
that I can run bootstrap without falling back to another arch flag? (eg. force bootstrap.sh to use 
the more recent texinfo).

drobbins mentioned he couldn't replicate that problem with texinfo 4-5, but as for me, I keep getting errors about texinfo-4.5 being a corrupt ebuild.  i'm running a ~x86 system right now though.

I also have the same problem - using athlon-xp at texinfo-4.5 

see thread at http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=54046
for more info on error message and my CFLAGS

hmm, seems like a kernel thing

the workaround is to change -march to athlon instead of athlon-xp
