I did a new bootstrap from stage 1 under amd64. Then I tried to emerge -e system and it failed on busybox. Error message was: CC libbb/copy_file.o CC libbb/copyfd.o CC loginutils/login.o loginutils/login.c:22:31: error: security/pam_appl.h: No such file or directory loginutils/login.c:23:31: error: security/pam_misc.h: No such file or directory loginutils/login.c:24: error: variable 'conv' has initializer but incomplete type loginutils/login.c:25: error: 'misc_conv' undeclared here (not in a function) loginutils/login.c:25: warning: excess elements in struct initializer loginutils/login.c:25: warning: (near initialization for 'conv') loginutils/login.c:27: warning: excess elements in struct initializer loginutils/login.c:27: warning: (near initialization for 'conv') loginutils/login.c: In function 'login_main': loginutils/login.c:242: error: 'pam_handle_t' undeclared (first use in this function) loginutils/login.c:242: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once loginutils/login.c:242: error: for each function it appears in.) loginutils/login.c:242: error: 'pamh' undeclared (first use in this function) loginutils/login.c:243: warning: ISO C90 forbids mixed declarations and code loginutils/login.c:298: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pam_start' loginutils/login.c:299: error: 'PAM_SUCCESS' undeclared (first use in this function) loginutils/login.c:304: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pam_set_item' loginutils/login.c:304: error: 'PAM_TTY' undeclared (first use in this function) loginutils/login.c:309: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pam_authenticate' loginutils/login.c:313: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pam_acct_mgmt' loginutils/login.c:321: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pam_get_item' loginutils/login.c:321: error: 'PAM_USER' undeclared (first use in this function) loginutils/login.c:334: warning: implicit declaration of function 'pam_strerror' loginutils/login.c:334: warning: format '%s' expects type 'char *', but argument 3 has type 'int' make[1]: *** [loginutils/login.o] Error 1 make: *** [loginutils] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... CC libbb/correct_password.o CC libbb/crc32.o CC libbb/create_icmp6_socket.o Seems that emerge -e system wanted to emerge busybox before pam, even though busybox has IUSE=pam. Emerging pam then emerging busybox solved this error, but maybe portage couldn't do it on its own?

Expected Results: emerge -e system goes well :)
I think there should be the following added to the busybox ebuild: DEPEND="pam? ( sys-libs/pam )"
fixed in cvs, cheers
