Bug 592400

Summary:	=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-370.23 should require CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS to be unset
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	vax456
Component:	Current packages	Assignee:	Gentoo Linux bug wranglers <bug-wranglers>
Status:	RESOLVED DUPLICATE
Severity:	normal	CC:	bkohler
Priority:	Normal
Version:	unspecified
Hardware:	All
OS:	Linux
Whiteboard:
Package list:		Runtime testing required:	---

Description vax456 2016-08-29 21:42:00 UTC

Steps to reproduce:

1. emerge >=sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.7.2
2. Set CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y in the kernel .config
3. emerge =x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-370.23
4. Smash the monitor when nvidia-drivers doesn't compile.

The fix is to set CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=n.  The ebuild for nvidia-drivers should warn the user if this kernel config is set.
