Elfutils also failes to compile on x86. Here is the output:

Comment 2 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-02 16:31:58 UTC
What gcc/CFLAGS ?  Compiles here without one warning.  Anyhow, fix is to hack -Werror out.
Comment 3 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2003-01-02 17:47:07 UTC
My CFLAGS for sparc are:
CFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"
CXXFLAGS="-mcpu=ultrasparc -mtune=ultrasparc -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"

Those flasg used to do funny things on sparc, but at the reccommendation of
#gentoo-sparc folks, they should work now, and this has indeed proven to be the
case (ran emerge -e system the other day).
Comment 4 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2003-01-02 17:54:27 UTC
Also, is it safe to hack out the -Werror?  Shouldn't these warnings and such be
cleaned up a little?
Comment 5 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-02 18:28:49 UTC
Developers usually add it to track down warnings in code (which could point to
a possible bug in code, although not always).

What happens if you take out the -fomit-frame-pointer ?
Comment 6 Simeon Walker 2003-01-03 04:10:29 UTC
I see exactly the same problem as that of Jasmin (above). I am using an Athlon
XP and my CFLAGS="-march=athlon-xp -O3". It's just the same with -O2 or with no
CFLAGS set.
Comment 7 Daniel Seyffer 2003-01-06 05:11:37 UTC
Hello,  FYI. I too have exactly the same error as Jasmin, using a PIII and CFLAGS="-march=pentium3 -O3 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer"...    
Comment 8 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2003-01-06 11:20:40 UTC
Oddly enough, it compiled fine on my pentium 2 300MHz system, and I have a
wackload of flags set for CFLAGS.

CFLAGS="-march=pentium2 -O3 -pipe -mmmx -fomit-frame-pointer -fforce-addr
-funroll-loops -frerun-cse-after-loop -frerun-loop-opt -falign-functions=4
-falign-jumps=4"

This didn't seem to stop it.  Making it seemingly a show stopper for specific
x86 people and possibly all sparc folks.  I'll also have information on how well
this builds on mips arch too once I get a basic system running on my SGI box.
Comment 9 Daniel Seyffer 2003-01-07 14:15:12 UTC
[notice: regarding the x86 Bug only - I still have to test Gentoo on one of the
Suns at work one day... ;-)]

Hm, quite strange actually. If I may help to further investigate this, e.g. by
providing more detailed information, just let me know. I am using a (hopefully)
"clean" Gentoo 1.4_rc2 which I just reinstalled last week.

The good news is that it works for me now.

I just created a small patch for the Makefile(s) to remove -Werror as
recommended by Martin Schlemmer above. Maybe one might also remove "-Wall" as
while it will compile, there are still a lot of compiler warnings flying by. I
will attach the updated ebuild and the patchfile, but beware - it compiled for
me, not more not less... :-) 
Comment 10 Daniel Seyffer 2003-01-07 14:16:48 UTC
Created attachment 7060 [details]
An updated ebuild, containing the "Makefile-remove-Werror" Patch.
Comment 11 Daniel Seyffer 2003-01-07 14:17:37 UTC
Created attachment 7061 [details, diff]
Patch to remove -Werror from the Makefiles.
Comment 12 Martin Schlemmer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-07 16:31:42 UTC
Looks good, although you could prob do something like in src_unpack():

-------------------
src_unpack() {
   unpack ${A}

   for x in $(find ${S}/ -name Makefile.in)
   do
       cp ${x} ${x}.orig
       sed -e 's:-Werror::g' \
           ${x}.orig > ${x}
   done
}
----------------------

Should also be a bit more universal.  Can anybody in the sparc team/whover
that have a free moment commit this?  I really do not get to this :(  Will
only prob this weekend if nobody take it off my hands.
Comment 13 Stefan Jones (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-01-08 08:51:19 UTC
Fixed, you need gcc-3.2.1-r6 for the new gcc exentions in gcc-3.3 and the redhat
gcc-3.2 branch.
Ebuild updated, closing bug.
