i'd like to think Gentoo has grown up now to the point where we don't bother |
2 |
with trivial ricer behavior. to that end, i'd like to EOL `filter-mfpmath`. |

|
4 |
my main beef with filtering -mfpmath is that we use this only when someone |
5 |
actually notices and reports misbehavior with the package in question, the |
6 |
behavior can fluctuate between gcc versions, and it's questionable whether the |
7 |
flag makes a significant difference in performance. considering this is x86- |
8 |
only, and our main user base is amd64 based, it doesn't see nearly the amount |
9 |
of attention that it did in the past. i'd prefer we leave this flag to the |
10 |
respective upstream packages to validate when it should be used (i.e. the |
11 |
mplayer's and ffmpeg's and such in the world). |
12 |
|
13 |
Ryan did a check and it seems we've got all of 5 packages (and one eclass) |
14 |
using this. so i say it's time to scrub the tree, punt the func, and then |
15 |
punt people who attempt to report bugs when building their whole system with - |
16 |
mfpmath and see misbehavior. |
