Background: http://ciaranm.wordpress.com/2008/09/28/eapi-2-src_uri-arrows/ Today I found arrows in SRC_URI is not working in my box, so I took a look at the code, found something, and sent this: http://www.nabble.com/a-little-patch-related-to-arrow-in-SRC_URI-td20732745.html However, as Zac pointed out, the better solution is not to define your own fetch and resume command but rely on the default one. The default ones are defined in /etc/make.globals: FETCHCOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp -O \"\${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}\" \"\${URI}\"" RESUMECOMMAND="/usr/bin/wget -c -t 5 -T 60 --passive-ftp -O \"\${DISTDIR}/\${FILE}\" \"\${URI}\"" The rules of thumb is to make sure you save the file at ${DISTDIR}/${FILE}, since FILE is just the file name, doesn't include path. Previously I have fetch and resume command defined in make.conf, and have used "-P ${DISTDIR}" instead of "-O ${DISTDIR}/${FILE}". Maybe...

I have reported on gcc mailing list. http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-11/msg00076.html Also I found the solution: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2008-11/msg00087.html Now I have built gcc-4.4 with my modified patch with "-march=mips3", and am building itself again using "-march=loongson2f". Note that enabling -O2 in later stages is not working yet. Please check this bug report for more information if you are interested: http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38052 EDIT: just heard from Kumba, this flag used together with -O1 will trigger this bug: -foptimize-sibling-calls Optimize sibling and tail recursive calls. Enabled at levels -O2, -O3, -Os. The modified gcc 4.4 ebuild is here and some relevant libraries here .

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-11/msg00273.html I have put it in my loongson overlay . BTW, the gcc svn ebuild is from dirtyepic's overlay.
