I tried emerging both versions of biew and they both fail at the same place:

biewlib/sysdep/ia32/cpu_info.c: In function `__cpuid_ebxecx':
biewlib/sysdep/ia32/cpu_info.c:166: error: can't find a register in class `BREG' while reloading `asm'

I tried using both my regular CFLAGS and no CFLAGS at all.

Comment 1 David Holm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev

Seems to be caused by gcc being compiled with the hardened USE-flag. Recompiled gcc without it and now biew emerges.

Ok, I added a warning about it in the ebuilds. They should now fail with a nice eerror message on systems with hardened gcc.
