emerge gmp fails on alpha [solved]

Looks like GCC v4 was recently marked stable on alpha. Currently have gcc 3.4.6 and trying to upgrade. One of the deps of gcc4 is the gmp package. When I emerge gmp, it fails in the following manner:

gcc -c -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I.. -DOPERATION_mod_34lsub1 -mieee -O2 -mcpu=ev56 -pipe tmp-mod_34lsub1.s -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/mod_34lsub1.o

Here's my emerge --info if it helps any:

Just finished an "emerge -e system" followed by an "emerge -e world".

emerge gmp still fails with the exact same error. Am I the only one with the problem? Everyone else can emerge gmp just fine?

From the GMP homepage (http://gmplib.org/):

" GMP is very often miscompiled! We are seeing ever increasing problems with miscompilations of the GMP code. It has now come to the point where a compiler should be assumed to miscompile GMP. Please never use your newly compiled libgmp.a or libgmp.so without first running make check. If it doesn't complete without errors, don't trust the library. Please try another compiler release, or change optimization flags until it works. If you have the skill to isolate the problem, please report it to us if it is a GMP bug; else to the compiler vendor. (The compilers that cause problems are HP's unbundled compilers and GCC, in particular Apple's GCC releases.) "

I'm not a programmer, but it sounds like a very real possibility that the package is not being built correctly when using the portage ebuild...

EDIT: I just downloaded the source code for gmp 4.2.1 from ftp.gnu.org. It builds cleanly on the same system so the problem is clearly in the ebuild. What should I do, submit a bug report?

hi,
im not sure if its true for alphas as well, but i had the same problem on x86.
my problem was this CFLAG: -freorder-blocks-and-partition
when i removed it from my make.conf, compiling worked fine :-)

I'd like to upgrade my gcc to gcc4 but gmp is a dependency so I cannot upgrade until gmp compiles! :roll:

Ok, gmp has compiled - here's how I did it.

First, changed my CHOST setting in make.conf from alphaev56-unknown-linux-gnu to alpha-unknown-linux-gnu and then followed this guide:

http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml

And gmp compiled fine. Apparently, the gmp ebuild doesn't like a non-default CHOST setting, at least on alpha...
