[gnutls-devel] Assembler problems in gnutls-3.2.8.1+

[Thomas Klausner]

Hi!

Starting from gnutls-3.2.8.1 (we didn't have 3.2.8 in pkgsrc;
reportedly still there in 3.2.9) there were problems with assembler
files in pkgsrc, in particular on the SunOS and Mac OS X (built for
32bit) platforms.

Here are the outputs for SunOS:
32bit:

64bit:

For Mac OS X, I got this report:

Mac OS X Lion:

For this reason we're currently using --disable-hardware-acceleration
on these platforms, but that's obviously just a workaround.

Please advise!

Thanks,
