i8kutils-1.42-gcc5.patch

The new version is failing to build due to changes in inline rules for C99:

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -march=native -g -pipe   -c -o i8kctl.o i8kctl.c
gcc -Wall -c -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -DLIB i8kctl.c
gcc -Wall -c -Wl,--hash-style=gnu -Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed -DLIB probe_i8k_calls_time.c
gcc -o probe_i8k_calls_time i8kctl.o probe_i8k_calls_time.o
probe_i8k_calls_time.o: In function `main':
probe_i8k_calls_time.c:(.text+0x62): undefined reference to `timestamp'

collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:24: recipe for target 'probe_i8k_calls_time' failed


While looking at this I ran into a race condition with parallel make.  While looking into that I found more things wrong, etc. etc.  Rather than filing multiple bugs I'll just attach a couple patches for those problems here.

i8kutils-1.42-Makefile.patch

Fix a race condition causing parallel builds to sometimes fail.

Both probe_i8k_calls_time and i8kctl contain a main() function, though
i8kctl's is omitted when built with -DLIB so they can link without a
conflict.  i8kctl is also a standalone exe so it is built twice, with
and without -DLIB.  When building in parallel you can get into a 
situation where the object file created by the probe_i8k_calls_time
target gets overwritten with the one from i8kctl and bad things happen.
Nothing actually uses the i8kctl.o that has main() so we can just not
build it.

Also move CFLAGS, CC, LDFLAGS respect out of the ebuild.

Just some little stuff

- Drop examples USE flag since that directory doesn't exist in the sources anymore
- Convert DOCS=( README.i8kutils ) to a dodoc.  None of the eclasses we're inheriting handles DOCS so this wasn't getting installed.
- It looks like the newconfd line got dropped when you did your version bump.
- Drop all the compiler flag sed stuff.  None of it actually did anything, except add LDFLAGS when compiling (but not linking).  As far as I can tell this never worked.  Moved to the Makefile patch.

I'll apply these patches locally and send them to upstream. Thank you!
