Hmmm. That's really strange. Does that mean that you were unable to
reproduce the issue as I described?

Gentoo builds urxvt from source. In my case it runs this command:

CFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2" CXXFLAGS="-march=prescott -O2"
./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu
--mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share
--sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-everything
--enable-xft --enable-perl --disable-text-blink --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

After that it's only "make" and "make install DESTDIR=..."

So I'd think that Gentoo should be supported if you support your own
source distribution.

However, as you can see in the comments for the bug report, even other
people have problems reproducing that bug. And if you say that you can't
reproduce that reset problem either with which I started this thread,
then I begin to suspect that there must be something strange indeed
about my setup, that causes it to behave than every other installation.
It's not the -march, and none of the other settings look really exotic
to me. I'll try a manual build from source some time next week, see if
that behaves the same way.
