Description Joshua J. Berry (CondorDes) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-27 20:37:06 UTC 
The new xorg (currently masked for testing) segfaults almost constantly when compiled with gcc 3.4.1 and CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4".  This problem goes away if -march is backed down to pentium3.

The problem seems to be specific to gcc 3.4; I was able to compile/run with "-O2 -march=pentium4" on 3.3.4 with no problems.

For completeness' sake, here is my emerge --info:

Comment 1 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-27 22:23:09 UTC 
Try adding -mno-mmx to your CFLAGS after the -march line and compiling. There's some MMX code that requires at least gcc-3.4, and it could be broken in some way.
Comment 2 Joshua J. Berry (CondorDes) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-31 14:09:35 UTC 
-mno-mmx didn't work, same problem as before.  I tried it while upgrading to 6.7.99.903.
Comment 3 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2004-08-31 18:31:30 UTC 
This sounds like a gcc bug, not a X bug. Reassigning.
