Description Ryan 2004-10-10 03:00:10 UTC

When trying to emerge gettext-12.1-r2 from stage1-x86-2004.3.20040920 and a custome gentoo livecd that has reiser4 (i will get the exact kernel the livecd has if needed), the emerge fails.  After searching the forums, I found hints that it might be the pentium-m march flag.  I changed mine to pentium3 and the bootstrap and everthing seems to be working.  This seems to be a problem with gcc3.3, supposedly pentium-m is still a bit buggy.

I think for now a proper fix would be to add a filterflags to the gettext ebuild

I will try to reproduce the error when the bootstrap finishes and I will post the results.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. start with stage1 install
2. set pentium-m as march in /etc/make.conf
3. emerge gettext


Actual Results:  
 emerge fails, bootstrap fails

Expected Results:  
finished emerging and continue with bootstrap

the build fails on 
Checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler connanot create esecutables

once you change it to pentium3 it should the default ouput to be a.out.

I also tried to emerge autoconf with gcc 3.3.4 and the pentium-m march and it fails also.  I guess the pentium-m just isn't sutiable for gcc 3.3.4 at all.

Well, gettext is maintained by base-system.  You weren't even booting from one of our LiveCD's, so there's no way it can be us.

Okay, I though this was for live cd and installs.  I see it has been reassigned to base-system@gentoo.org.  chaing the product to Gentoo Linux

The livecd@ alias is for booting problems with our livecd.  The instant that you are past chroot, you're out of our realm and into someone else's unless the problem is with the stage files themselves (missing package or such)

pentium-m is not a valid target for gcc-3.3.x
