Xapian discuss - May 2005 - Suffix or operands invalid for 'mov' on x86_64

Hello,

I have the following:
AMD 64 2800 running Fedora Core 3.
Linux localhost 2.6.9-1.667 #1 Tue Nov 2 14:50:10 EST 2004 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64
GNU/Linux

gcc-3.4.2-6.fc3
binutils-2.15.92.0.2-5

I'm trying to compile xapian-core on my machine and am receiving the
following
errors under the testsuite compile:

if /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I..

then mv -f ".deps/testsuite.Tpo" ".deps/testsuite.Plo"; else

I've googled for the same with no real answers other than to remove the -O2
and
replace with -O or checking the version of binutils...however, nothing relavant.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Mitul

The problem you've hit is that xapian-core's configure has detected
valgrind, but this valgrind is for 32 bit binaries while Xapian is
being built with a 64 bit compiler.  The warnings and errors are from
macros in valgrind.h.

This is fixed in the sources in SVN, so 0.9.0 won't have this problem.
The easiest workaround for 0.8.5 and earlier is force configure to
ignore valgrind, like so:

./configure VALGRIND
