XFree86-4.3.0-44 build fails in xc/programs/bitmap

[sean darcy]

I'm trying to build XFree from development. It fails here:

gcc -m32 -o bitmap -march=athlon-xp -m3dnow -msse -mmmx -mfpmath=sse -Os  
-fno-strict-aliasing -pip e -ansi -pedantic -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wundef    
  -L../../exports/lib   BitEdit.o CutPaste.o Grap hics.o ReqMach.o Bitmap.o  
                  Dialog.o Handlers.o -lXaw -lXmu -lXt -lSM -lICE -lXpm - 
lXext -lX11     -lm -Wl,-rpath-link,../../exports/lib
../../exports/lib/libXaw.so: undefined reference to `.L91'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[4]: *** [bitmap] Error 1
make[4]: Leaving directory 
`/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/XFree86-4.3.0/xc/programs/bitmap'


Is this the correct list for build issues?

thanks

sean

If you build test packages I think so.

Btw. to set "-march=athlon-xp -m3dnow -msse -mmmx -mfpmath=sse" as gcc
3.3 compiler options the 3dnow, sse, mmx and -mfemath=sse calls are
redundant as the -march setting to athlon-xp will choose that all.

No.  If you suspect a bug in the compiler (which this
looks like it), find out which libXaw.so object has undefined .L91
symbol and file a bugreport in http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/
with the details (gcc command line used to compile that object
with .L91 undefined reference (use e.g. nm -u to find out), preprocessed
source (add -save-temps to gcc options, rerun it and attach the resulting
.i file) and exact gcc version you used).

Athlon reorders instructions internally anyway, the net result
generally being that it makes no difference what CPU instruction
scheduling is chosen, as the chip does it's own thing internally.

I'd be kind of surprised if compiling with all those options 
yields any real world performance gains anyway.  Placebo effect 
perhaps...  ;o)

The gentoo folks would definitely have you believe otherwise.  A friend 
of mine swears that rebuilding everything using the -march=athlon-xp 
results in a much more responsive X subsystem.

I would be very curious to see a Fedora installation completely rebuilt 
xp-only.

The funny thing about the "Gentoo folks" is, their perceived performance
improvement is not reproducible by all Gentoo folks. After wasting many
hours on recompiling stuff with modified compiler options and a largely
different set of build dependencies, not everyone finds the system to be
"much more responsive". Those, that do, should attempt at proving
performance increases with benchmark studies.

Well, what should one do? Download XFree-* srpms, rebuild and reinstall?
