even MORE avifile compilation problems...

[spankmeister7]

I'm having a similar problems to that which other users have expressed problems with. When I try to emerge -uD world or update KDE I get a failure notice with avifile. I've read through the forums and tried different tricks:

* tried commenting my CFLAGS entry in /etc/make.conf
* tried downgrading ffmpeg to a previous version
* tried using different optimizations in make.conf
* pulling my hair out

I have a dual-Athlon 2900 system and my make.conf file looks like this:

CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-mp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j3"

The error message I get is as follows (sorry about the length):

There's a bug report here.

The problem is only against ffmpeg-0.4.9_p20050226-r5.
The work around is:

[spankmeister7]

I could have swore I tried that before.. but whatever the case, it worked this time.

Thanks for the clarification!

[druggo]

encount the same problem with AMD64...
well, I don't wanna downgrade ffmpeg, so looking for a new release of avifile or other great patch.

[chatmoa]

[Felixlein]

Worked for me too!!
Have this problem only on my athlonXP Box;on my athlon64 everything compiles fine...

[n-tiq]

Had a same problem on my centrino laptop , thanks for solution

[richmastaplus]

I've got the same problem but your solution doesn't work for me
