Bugzilla Bug 124562

lynx is failing to build.

Here is emerge --info, followed by build errors:

The errors actually continue, at some incredible length, before finally
aborting the compile.  If desired, I can attach the full output.

I'm having trouble reproducing this. I'm kind of confused by the output, when I
build lynx I get:

cd chrtrans && make \
        SITE_DEFS="" \
        CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe -DANSI_VARARGS " \
        CPPFLAGS="-DLINUX  -D_GNU_SOURCE" \
        CC="gcc" tables

So mine has a bunch of environment vars listed, whereas yours only has "cd
chrtrans && make tables".

I don't know if this will help... but can you try setting your -march=athlon64
in your CFLAGS? Also, could you try the -r3? If that one works for you I'll put
it into the stable branch.

Re-assign wrt Bug 50399

Is it still reproducible with lynx-2.8.5-r3 ?

(In reply to comment #3)

Yes, it is still reproducible.
Incidentally, lynx emerges just fine on another system with identical hardware
but separately administered.
Any ideas on comparisons I could do between the two?

seems there is a problem with the "makeuctb" binary, which is generated in
src/chrtrans/ from makeuctb.c; can you check the permission bits with 
"ls -l /var/tmp/portage/lynx-2.8.5-r3/work/lynx2-8-5/src/chrtrans/makeuctb"

lynx-2.8.5-r3 compiled fine here:

Sorry for not just posting once, but I forgot to answer this:

>Any ideas on comparisons I could do between the two?
Compare the USE flags, Kernel settings (are you using some Kernel Hardening on
your machine?)?

lynx's makefiles haven't been vetted for "make -j".

Thanks Thomas, I didn't notice he is using "-j" with no limit; I'll restrict to
-j1 then.

Bryan, do you confirm it works if you use MAKEOPTS="-j1" ?

(In reply to comment #10)

Okay, I compiled with MAKEOPTS=-j1 and it worked.
Then I tried again with MAKEOPTS=-j, and it worked again.
Go figure.  I dont know what changed between now and the last attempt, but at
least it installs now.

Thanks, I have added -j1 to emake invocation.
