 |
|
In building the latest xorg 6.8.0-r4 I notice all these messages in the output:
| Code: | config/cf/host.def:144: warning: "HasMMXSupport" redefined
config/cf/host.def:136: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
config/cf/host.def:145: warning: "MesaUseMMX" redefined
config/cf/host.def:137: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
config/cf/host.def:146: warning: "Has3DNowSupport" redefined
config/cf/host.def:138: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
config/cf/host.def:147: warning: "MesaUse3DNow" redefined
config/cf/host.def:139: warning: this is the location of the previous definition
|
And, in fact, host.def does contain a lot of contradictory lines:
| Code: | /* binutils-2.9 */
#define LinuxBinUtilsMajorVersion 29
#define HasMMXSupport YES
#define MesaUseMMX YES
#define Has3DNowSupport YES
#define MesaUse3DNow YES
#define HasKatmaiSupport NO
#define MesaUseKatmai NO
#define HasSSESupport NO
#define MesaUseSSE NO
#define HasMMXSupport NO
#define MesaUseMMX NO
#define Has3DNowSupport NO
#define MesaUse3DNow NO
#define HasKatmaiSupport NO
#define MesaUseKatmai NO
#define HasSSESupport NO
#define MesaUseSSE NO
|
The questions that naturally come to mind are:
1) Why are these variables being redefined? Does it have something to do with binutils?
2) Is it going to have a bad effect on X or X's performance?
3) Should I worry about this at all? Should I file a bug report?
TIA. |

| I had this exact same problem. I had to remove the offending lines (and another on in ...linux.def, was it?) in order to finish the ebuild. I don't know what happened, but what USE flags are you using for xorg and gcc? Anything hardened? Which profile are you using? Maybe there's a connection. |

| That's what I did: I commented out the contradictory lines and then built it with no problems. I'm sure I'm not using any weird USE flags or special hardening or anything like that. |
