linux-headers-2.6.11-r2/r3 bitops.h conflicts with the definition of "ffs" found in many packages. Am able to compile packages that can exclude gpm. eg ncurses Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge ncurses 2. 3.

Created attachment 74856 [details] same error in recompiling xorg-x11
xorg-x11 seems to have no problem once dmx is unset.
(In reply to comment #5) > xorg-x11 seems to have no problem once dmx is unset. It appears I was incorrect.
Want to edit /usr/include/asm/bitops.h as follows? Find line 250 where you have ffs(...) but *not* __ffs; and move that down below the #ifdef __KERNEL__. Keep the ffz(...) above the #ifdef __KERNEL__.

Many headers were missing from there. After I installed that, ncurses compiled with no problem, but xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 had the same problem. Should I revert to linux-headers-2.6.11-r3 first?

This version so far is not a noticeable difference from 6.8.2. Perhaps I failed to clean out the previous attempt before.
> I am willing to try that. Before I do, I installed linux-headers-2.6.14.2 and > copied /usr/src/linux/include/asm-powerpc/* to /usr/include/asm. Only Portage doesn't have linux-headers-2.6.14.2 and it won't since 2.6.14 is a mess for PPC due to headers moving upstream. I'd suggest reverting to 2.6.11 and then trying that patch.

Fixed; emerge sync and remerge linux-headers-2.6.11-r3. Thanks!
I have modified linux-headers-2.6.11-r3 to install linux-headers-2.6.14.4. I also copied the entire contents of gentoo-sources-2.6.14.2-r2 include/asm-powerpc directory into /usr/include/asm as these were all missed by various packages. At this point I have completed emerge -e system and emerge -e world. There were 2 difficulties. 1)slang-1.4.9-r1 had a sandbox violation, worked around by 'rm /usr/lib/libslang-utf8.a'. Probably a bug in slang. 2)net-tool-1.60-r11, which I haven't found a method around and have the previously compiled version still. There were clear complaints about header files.
Created attachment 75247 [details] net-tools error log, using 2.6.14.4 for headers.
a) Please try 2.6.15_rc6 headers which will be in portage sometime soon (probably today/tomorrow) b) Perform the asm-powerpc kludge but with 2.6.15_rc6 sources c) See if things work; looking at the code they probably should (for that __be16 error anyway). Thanks!
net-tools builds cleanly with 2.6.15_rc6 and kludge, but it breaks ncurses build with complaints about spinlock.h and other headers.
