'emerge gmp' fails on alpha platform (EV56) with a compiler error. I downloaded the source code from ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/ and it builds perfectly fine with the manual process of ./configure; make check; make; so it's apparently a problem with the ebuild on this platform? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge gmp 2. 3. Actual Results: build fails with a compiler error. It's the exact same error every time. Expected Results: built and installed successfully I've performed several emerge --sync; emerge -e system; emerge -e world iterations so I know my system is totally fresh and up to date.
Here is the compiler error that happens during the ebuild: gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_mod_34lsub1 -mieee -O2 -mcpu=ev56 -pipe tmp-mod_34lsub1.s -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/mod_34lsub1.o ../mpn/m4-ccas --m4=m4 gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_mod_34lsub1 -mieee -O2 -mcpu=ev56 -pipe mod_34lsub1.asm -o mod_34lsub1.o >/dev/null 2>&1 /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile --tag=CC ../mpn/m4-ccas --m4="m4" gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_`echo mode1o | sed 's/_$//'` -mieee -O2 -mcpu=ev56 -pipe `test -f 'mode1o.asm' || echo './'`mode1o.asm ../mpn/m4-ccas --m4=m4 gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_mode1o -mieee -O2 -mcpu=ev56 -pipe mode1o.asm -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/mode1o.o m4 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -DOPERATION_mode1o -DPIC mode1o.asm >tmp-mode1o.s gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_mode1o -mieee -O2 -mcpu=ev56 -pipe tmp-mode1o.s -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/mode1o.o tmp-mode1o.s: Assembler messages: tmp-mode1o.s:117: Error: macro requires $at register while noat in effect make[2]: *** [mode1o.lo] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/gmp-4.2.1/work/gmp-4.2.1/mpn' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/gmp-4.2.1/work/gmp-4.2.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

Looks like the exact same failure as reported in bug #170146 FWIW, that bug was reported with an EV67 system and mine is an EV56. Failure appears identical.
George, you are right. Same bug when using something different than CHOST="alpha-unknown-linux-gnu". Since bug #170146 seems to be more advanced, let's move the discussion there. Thanks George. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 170146 ***
