Bugzilla Bug 126469

Updating totem to 1.4.0, I get the following error if confcache is in FEATURES:

The build succeeds if confcache is disabled.

there's a spurious "i" in the middle, that might be the problem.
Can you grep target_alias on /var/tmp/confcache/config.cache ?

Created an attachment (id=82327) [edit]
config.log

This may no longer be valid, I have other packages building with confcache
enabled:
grep target_alias /var/tmp/confcache/config.cache
ac_cv_env_target_alias_set=
ac_cv_env_target_alias_value=
ac_cv_target_alias=${ac_cv_target_alias=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu}

Let me know if this is no good and a little later I will reproduce the error
and grep config.cache then.

You continue having errors when building totem also if you merged something
else? If it's this way, try editing the ebuild and remove the i before
${GCONF2} in the set of GCONF2 itself, and see if that works.

Yes

Yes, getting rid of that "i" allows it to build with confcache.

Thanks for testing, I've removed it and committed to portage.
