Bugzilla Bug 189266

I'd like to ask for the stabilization of dev-ruby/ruby-gettext-1.10.0. It has
ben in the tree for a month with no reported problems. This version has
significant performance improvements compared to previous versions, in addition
to the usual bug fixes and enhancements.

On sparc, I get this:
>>> Install ruby-gettext-1.10.0 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/ruby-gettext-1.10.0/image/ category dev-ruby
ERROR:  Error installing gem
/var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/ruby-gettext-1.10.0/distdir/gettext-1.10.0[.gem]:
Invalid argument -
/var/tmp/portage/dev-ruby/ruby-gettext-1.10.0/distdir/gettext-1.10.0.gem

This used to be a problem with sys-devel/autoconf-2.61-r1 + ruby (any) on
sparc.
If I downgrade to autoconf-2.60 and rebuild ruby, everything is fine (this is
an improvement; used to be -2.59).  But for some reason, if I build any version
of ruby with any autoconf beyond -2.60, I can no longer build rubygems nor
anything which uses it.

Problem is sparc-specific, and reproducible on all my sparc systems.  If other
sparc people can confirm or refute, please do so; this is either a problem
specific to all my systems or a sparc related autoconf/ruby interaction problem
(again).

Sounds like a manifestation of bug 161566.

stable on ppc

Sparc stable --- as Hans suggested in Comment 2, my problem was a manifestation
of bug 161566 caused by an old glibc version on the system I chose for testing.
 After upgrading to glibc-2.5-r4 (no, I don't know why this system had been
stuck at a 2.3.6 version --- an artifact of something else long forgotten),
rebuilding autoconf-2.61-r1, and finally rebuilding ruby-1.8.6_p36-r3,
ruby=gettext-1.10.0 builds and installs fine.  Most tests run as expected; the
ones which want to connect to mysql directly using /var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
all fail, of course, because the mysql socket is /var/run/mysqld/mysql.sock.

Bah.  There's no dependency, really.  Sorry for the noise.

dev-ruby/ruby-gettext-1.10.0  USE="doc"

1. Emerges on AMD64.
2. No collisions.
3. No test phase.
4. Multilib-strict ok.
5. Works - tested with some sample scripts, and with the rdeps.
