Comment 4 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2016-09-16 19:08:13 UTC
powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu-gcc: error: unrecognized command line option '-march=native'

I dont think you can use -march=native on ppc
Comment 5 ernsteiswuerfel archtester 2016-09-16 19:22:50 UTC
True. You can't use -march=native on ppc as you pointed out. Only -mcpu and -mtune are available on ppc/ppc64 in gcc. This is the case from gcc 4.9.x to 6.x.x. I have been noticing that several packages are having problems with that, now that I am building my first ppc system up. ;-)

I am running this profile:
[11]  default/linux/powerpc/ppc64/13.0/32bit-userland/desktop/gnome/systemd *

And in my make.conf I got:
CFLAGS="-mcpu=G5 -mtune=G5 -Os -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

The ebuild seems to ignore that.
Comment 6 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev 2016-09-16 20:08:25 UTC
Is there anything special about your build environment? Are you using any kind of emerge wrapper script, or crossdev from another host, or distcc, or qemu+chroot?

I don't see any way these CFLAGS could be coming from the packages' own build systems, they must be from the outside somehow.

I am also clueless where these CFLAGS are coming from. All the building is done locally on the machine. It's reasonably fast to handle that (2,3 MHz dual CPU).

See comment 8 on bug 594000.
