AMD64 herd, any idea about this issue?

/usr/include/gentoo-multilib/amd64/bits/stat.h:103: error: parse error before
'[' token

Lukas, please attach your '/usr/include/gentoo-multilib/amd64/bits/stat.h'

Created an attachment (id=78017) [edit]
My stat.h

Note that I tried compiling a short C program which #included <sys/stat.h>
and it compiled just fine.

#include <sys/stat.h>

int main() {
return 0;
}

I can reproduce this here on ~amd64.
Going into building directory:
avrdude-5.1 # gcc -c lexer.c

                 from lexer.l:29:

# else
    __ino64_t st_ino;                   /* File serial number.  */
# endif
#endif

I can't see any syntax error in those files. But still fails to compile.

avrdude-5.1.patch

It builds with this path, but I haven't tested it much.
The problem is that __unused is defined in lexer.c in the
avrdude sources.

right, so this is dev-embedded's territory

I filed a bug report upstream.

slightly improved patch

Brix, I tested this patch and it works (of course), but I'm not sure how
dev-embedded handles patching. Should I use patch or is epatch fine? If epatch
is fine, please apply this :)

uhh, ebuilds should *always* use epatch

An avrdude developer suggested the following workaround, which worked for me:

lexer.c is a generated file, from lexer.l.  Thus, there is
no CVS file for it, so we cannot patch it that way.

I'm a bit surprised this file even makes it into the source
distribution, but that's the way "make distcheck" created
the tarball.  I rather suspect a bug in the autoconf/automake
configuration files used in avrdude.

As a workaround, I suggest you remove lexer.c, config_gram.c,
and config_gram.h locally before starting the build, so the
make process will recreate them using your local lex and yacc.

Thanks Lukas - I've changed it to remove the autogenerated files.

Please reopen if any problems remain.

I just tried avrdude 5.3.1 and it seems the files aren't auto-generated
unfortunately (build complains about those files missing exactly).

Okay, make gets ahead of itself on this one:
MAKEOPTS=-j1
..needs to be added to the ebuild and all should be nice to unmask it ;)
