I'm actually surprised the ~arch version from then works with gcc 4.1 without further tweaks, so it's not surprising at all that an even older version wouldn't. Given your results, I'd suggest a stable keywording bug would be appropriate for the package. (A quick search here didn't turn up any bugs yet filed for stabilization of the ~arch version yet.) You said you'd verified timidity ~amd64 works on stable. A quick look at the bug I linked dealing with it doesn't have any amd64 specific confirmation yet, and I don't see a comment from anyone with a username similar to what you use here. Please add your comment to the effect that -r2 works for you on stable amd64, as it'll help the amd64 arch folks know it has been tested and works on a stable platform. I'd do it myself only I can't properly say it works on stable, since I'm running unstable everything else as well. Simply skipping it as it's now working for you means it'll take amd64 longer to get the confirmation they need to stabilize it for other users, and isn't a very nice thing to do now that you have the information, in a community supported distribution like Gentoo. -- Duncan - List replies preferred.
