8.4 - libgcrypt won't build, complains about xgetbv missing from assembler

[Damien Fleuriot]

Hello list,



I'm hitting this peculiar problem on 8.4-STABLE where
/usr/ports/security/libgcrypt/ won't build and complains about xgetbv , per
:

==
/bin/sh ../libtool  --tag=CC    --mode=compile gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I.

*** Error code 1
Stop in /usr/ports/security/libgcrypt/work/libgcrypt-1.6.1/src.
*** Error code 1

Googling around suggests the problem might stem from /usr/bin/as

as reports version :
==
GNU assembler 2.15 [FreeBSD] 2004-05-23
==


10-STABLE compiles security/libgcrypt just fine, with /usr/bin/as version
2.17.50

The ports tree is up to date as of today.


Is anyone able to reproduce the problem on 8.4 ?
