solution: stop using `arch`
But line 71 of /usr/portage/thinkpad/mail-mta/sendmail/sendmail-8.14.1.ebuild want to have arch. What can I do as a user?
/bin/arch is present in util-linux-2.12r-r7, but no longer in util-linux-2.13-r1. Had to temporarily mask util-linux to below 2.13 to get sendmail to build.
*** Bug 191649 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fixed in all ebuilds, without doing any version bumps since this doesn't affect already installed versions and it only concerns unstable.
