Bug 275197 – emerge of sys-apps/hal-0.5.12_rc1-r6: stops due revoked/illegal switch -p in gperf line of /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/hal-0.5.12_rc1-r6/work/hal-0.5.12rc1/tools/Makefile

• Status: VERIFIED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Otto A. Schell 2009-06-23 13:24:39 UTC]

In /var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/hal-0.5.12_rc1-r6/work/hal-0.5.12rc1/tools/Makefile line 1073 states
gperf -t --ignore-case -N lookup_key -H hash_input_names -p -C < $< > $@
---------------------------------------------------------^^
which expands to
gperf -t --ignore-case -N lookup_key -H hash_input_names -p -C < hal-setup-keymap-hash-name.gperf > hal-setup-keymap-hash-name.h
gperf claims
Illegal instruction



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.pinkunvisible tools # gperf --version
GNU gperf 3.0.3
2.pinkunvisible tools # gperf -h | grep -e -p                            
  -P, --pic              Optimize the generated table for inclusion in shared
  -Q, --string-pool-name=NAME
                         Specify name of string pool generated by option --pic.
  -k, --key-positions=KEYS


Actual Results:  
gperf claims
Illegal instruction



Not shure, which switch to be used instead of these "-p"

"Illegal instruction" means your CPU is told to execute an instruction it doesn't know about, usually because you're compiling for a more recent CPU than you're using. It doesn't mean the program is given an option that it doesn't understand. Please check the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS in your make.conf and verify that they are correct for your processor. If they are not correct, you will need to rebuild everything on your system with proper flags. If you are sure they are correct, please include the output from emerge --info and re-open this bug.

tnxalot Sir Tnxalot,
Might be, not reproducible any more, because we started fresh install. It seems this is an issue only with pentium4M/pentiumM cpu on older laptops, when CFLAG="-march=pentium4" is set.
