Try to emerge gimp, which stop after a while when compile rcm_misc.c with: {standard input}: Assembler messages: {standard input}:808: Error: value of ffffffffffffff7f too large for field of 1 bytes at 0000000000000a6b {standard input}:1167: Error: value of ffffffffffffff7f too large for field of 1 bytes at 0000000000000f33 Compiler: gcc-3.2.3-r3 System: K6-III Compile command: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../.. -I../../intl -I/usr/include/gtk-1.2 -I/usr/include/glib-1.2 -I/usr/lib/glib/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/include -DLOCALEDIR=\""/usr/share/locale"\" -DGTK_DISABLE_COMPAT_H -march=i586 -mcpu=k6-3 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wall -c rcm_misc.c If I change -O3 to -O2 it compiles well for me. Thx to http://www.freehackers.org/gentoo/gccflags/faq.html I found that -finline-functions is the problem, if I use "-O2 -frename-registers" rcm_misc.c is compilable. Maybe this is not really a bug. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Use a K6-3 gcc 3.2.3-r3 glibc 2.3.2-r9 2. Set CFLAGS="-march=i586 -mcpu=k6-3 -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe" 3. emerge gimp Maybe change of ebuild to use -O2 instead of -O3 should use, if mpcu is K6-3
what gimp version is this ? CFLAGS are just the users responsibility to some extent, for k6 there's already a few safeguards in place. I'm inclined to mark this WONTFIX.
It's gimp version 1.2.5. You are right, due to the fact the user is responsible to it's CFLAGS this bug should change to WONTFIX. After take a look into the ebuild, this could also be marked as double to #22115
