Hi all,

I am not sure at all whether this is the right place to ask. I'll just place my question and give the details below, as the details are if not verbose then at least lengthy.

When is it appropriate to open a bug report? I have been searching the fora to no avail. I myself do not have the proficiency to investigate into compiling matters. But what kind of probs are worth to get a bug report?

Now the details:

make.conf:
Code:
CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -O3 -pipe" to CFLAGS="-mcpu=athlon-xp -O1 -pipe"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"
USE="x86 oss 3dnow apm arts avi -berkdb crypt cups encode gdbm gif gpm gtk imlib java jpeg kde gnome libg++ libwww mikmod mmx motif mpeg ncurses nls oggvorbis opengl pam pdflib png python qt qtmt quicktime readline sdl slang spell ssl svga tcpd truetype X xml2 xmms xv zlib nocardbus pda ghoto2 slp dga fbcon gtk gtkhtml tcltk aalib lcms tiff alsa dvd ggi flash ipv6 snmp socks5 imap ldap xface mozilla mozaccess-builtin mozctl mozirc mozxmlterm plotutils tetex perl oav gphoto2 mysql postgres -oci8 -odbc innodb gd samba nls doc canna freewnn -wmf jikes junit"


I issued:
Code:
emerge -u world

There are a few packages that won't compile (fiddled a bit with CFLAG, -O3 to -O1. Among them libxslt (1.0.27) exiting compilation with the following message:

An other stubborn package is gconf (2.2.0)

Always first check if there is already a bugreport in bugs.gentoo.org. If there is not, create one yourself. If it wasn't necessary, the developer will just make the bug invalid. If it was necessary, he'll work on it and resolve it.
