have you tried with CFLAGS="-pipe" and CXXFLAGS="-pipe" 

[Comment 2 Chris Platt 2003-09-02 22:03:26 UTC]

I've identified the "-f elf" parameter as the cause of this crash.  This happens on a straight source build (./configure; make) as well as emerge.  Now, does this have to use ELF format for the object files?

[Comment 3 Brandy Westcott (RETIRED) 2003-09-02 22:09:23 UTC]

If the bug reporter is using nasm-0.98.37 then this bug seems very similar to  
Bug #27704  
  
Backing down to nasm-0.98.36 seems to work.  

[Comment 4 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-09-04 17:38:21 UTC]

I've tracked the problem to the very line that the problem occurs, but I
don't know how it's supposed to work so I'm not sure how to fix it.  I've
sent email to the nasm development list so hopefully we'll get a fix from
them.  It's certainly a bug in nasm since it should segfault.  I don't
think 0.98.37 is going to last very long.

[Comment 5 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-09-05 12:03:28 UTC]

nasm-0.98.37's -f elf support is totally broken.  I've masked this version
of nasm in package.mask.  I'm going to close this bug because it's not really a 
game bug and will hopefully be resolved with the next release of nasm.

[Comment 6 Mr. Bones. (RETIRED) 2003-09-05 12:04:18 UTC]

nasm's problem.

[Comment 7 SpanKY 2003-09-19 10:54:13 UTC]

.38 fixes this

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2003-09-19 10:56:29 UTC]
