Re: [gentoo-dev] default-1.0-gcc3 success

[Lars Pechan]

Sorry for not getting back on this yesterday.

As you may have seen wading through the archives I've been through the same 
problems as you but it only happened when I tried to bootstrap using gcc-3.1. 
I used two different methods to build the gcc to bootstrap with: either 
bootstrapping twice or emerging gcc-3.1 as the very first thing after having 
installed the tarball iff the Gentoo CD.

In both cases I got to the same stage as you, i.e. glibc would not build due 
to the error you've seen.

Spider then reported he'd successfully boostrapped straight from the tarball 
and I and I believe others have done that as well without any problems at all 
(at that stage anyway). Doing it this way means glibc doesn't get built with 
various optimizations but it's probably not a very good idea to do so anyway.

I've built xfree86-4.2.0r9 since without any problems. Maybe different use 
flags is causing this to fail for some and succeed for others?

My use flags are:

USE="alsa directfb dvd 3dnow lm_sensors -gnome spell imap xml doc"

I'm having problems with the nvidia driver but s/w open-gl seems ok. I haven't 
researched this fully but I believe the nvidia issue may well be due to the 
difference in abi between gcc-3.1 compiled system libraries and nvidia's 
binaries (that have been compiled with something else - 2.95 most likely). 
I'm hoping I'm wrong though cause otherwise we have to wait for nvidia to 
release gcc3 compiled drivers. Anyone having had more luck?

kdebase and kdelibs have built fine but I had to do something very ugly to get 
fam-oss to compile (I'm in contact with the maintainer about this one). 
Anyone else having had any problems with this? I can't get as far as kdevelop 
since lynx won't compile but I have a theory that's because of the 
ncurses-issues. 

What else... ah, just tried emerge kde which tries to compile xanim (probably 
due to my use-flags, I think) which fails miserably. Might look into it later 
if I get a chance.

Would be good if other early adopters could post their experiences too.

Finally, I changed my compiler flags to 

C[XX]FLAGS=-march=athlon-xp -O3 -mmmx -m3dnow -pipe

immediately after the bootstrap was done so the emerge system was done with 
them rather than the std -march=i686 -O3 -pipe.

HTH,
