Subject: [gentoo-amd64] Modular-X: bug 121394 (-fweb) apply on amd64?

1 For those using modular-x, has anyone run into bug 121394 [1], window
2 corruption if CFLAGS include -fweb?

4 The latest xorg-server-1.0.1-r3 does a filterflags -fweb as a result.
5 However, I've not experienced the issue here. The bug (and resulting
6 filterflags) is based on reports in the forums, apparently x86 folks. As
7 I'm not seeing the issue here, even with CFLAGS=-fweb, there's a very good
8 chance it's either because the problem doesn't occur on amd64, or because
9 it's a gcc-3.x issue, since I'm using gcc-4.1.0-cvssnaps as my default
10 eselect compiler target. (Actually, it's quite reasonably the latter,
11 since gcc-4.x handles -fweb quite differently than 3.x did, due to the
12 rewrite for 4.0. I can't say for sure, however.)
13
14 I'd like to pin it down a bit and persuade the spyderous and co. to put
15 the filterflags behind an appropriate if/then test, a test I'd not match,
16 of course, so it would continue to use -fweb here. That way I don't have
17 to go back to the practice I had with xorg-6.x of sticking it in my
18 overlay and commenting out the stripflags call, which killed most CFLAGS,
19 when xorg worked fine with them enabled.
