For what I know, the last issue was fixed with 3.3/3.4, so this sounds new to |
| 7 |
me. |

That said, I think this is up to now the only point that would make me rethink |
| 9 |
over this whole idea. For a pure simple and practical problem. |

Probably, but never assume that gentoo is the first experience for everyone ;) |

I had my own share of GCC problems way before, and I remember how much shit |
| 16 |
GCC 3.2 created, 3.3 compared to it was a different order of magnitude: it |
| 17 |
worked. |

Maybe because SSE wasn't that widespread in the past, I remember most issues |
| 22 |
to be related to MMX/3Dnow! extensions mainly, a part a big one with -msse |
| 23 |
that I thought dead with GCC 3.3, but I might be mistaken on that then, and I |
| 24 |
beg you pardon in that case. |

Of course there's the usual -mfpmath=sse that do cause problems on 32-bit |
| 27 |
systems (although it's the default on 64-bit). |
