Bugzilla Bug 188273

Even this shows the unstable kernel, it still fails with the stable kernel too.

Please, attach the complete log; also emerge --info missing.

Tried with my hardened build and the same occurs, so attaching emerge --info
and genkernel.log

Reopen

is this a duplicate of bug 145415 ?

Not exactly. Different version of genkernel and this is with gentoo-sources &
hardened-sources.

This should be fixed in genkernel 3.4.9_pre1 which is now in the tree for
testing.  If this doesn't fix it, please REOPEN this bug.

Nope. Doesn't fix it, and I've just retried with _pre2

Alan, so you're only getting this problem with gentoo-sources or both
gentoo-sources and hardened-sources?

The last test was with h2.6.20-hardened-r6, but I can try gentoo-sources again
if that helps.

Alan, I don't think this will change anything, but can you try with genkernel
3.4.9_pre3 and attach the genkernel log it produces here?

Tried. Fails with the same error.

Do you have dmraid and/or device-mapper emerged?  Not that this should affect
genkernel, but..

Yes, I have both device-mapper & dmraid emerged before the kernel build.

O.k. So after my insight into genkernel for doing mdadm support I took a look
at why this fails.

It's because the default genkernel tries to build with -j2 and the DMRAID
package compiles out of order and tries to compile the 'tools' directory before
actually compiling the appropriate libraries.

Setting MAKEOPTS="-j1" in /etc/genkernel.conf fixes the problem.

I think both of these bugs are directly related to this, so if this gets fixed
properly I suspect both of these will work too.

http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=145415
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164572

Nice.  I'll come up with a way to override the MAKEOPTS setting for dmraid and
will put it into the next genkernel 3.4.9_pre version.  Of course, patches
welcome.  ;]

This is fixed in SVN.

This should be done in 3.4.9_pre10 which will be hitting the tree soon.
