This latest version of splashutils has proper support for fbcondecor (to be included in gentoo-sources 2.6.23) and no open bugs. It would be nice to get it stable for the 2007.1 snapshot.

media-gfx/splashutils-1.5.2.1 doesn't compile on ppc. I'm attaching emerge --info and build.log

This looks like a problem with the kernel headers or klibc. Which version of klibc are you using? Can you please try remerging it? Against which kernel version was klibc compiled?
I'm using dev-libs/klibc-1.5 and it was compiled agains gentoo-sources-2.6.22-r8. Unfortunately reemerging klibc didn't help.
On ppc there is a problem with klibc-1.5. See bug 196521.
amd64 stable
Maybe I missed something but on my amd64 system splashutils-1.5.2.1 went stable before the corresponding gentoo-sources. This combination requires users to select from these choices: 1) mask >media-gfx/splashutils-1.4.2 2) unmask the unstable kernel 3) manually patch the older kernel 4) forgo splash Latest stable gentoo-sources is 2.6.22-r8.
The ppc problem is http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190113 All the various arch variables get twisted and don't seem to correct the issue. Somewhere klibc is setting another variable based on detecting the arch of the kernel. So in the case of ppc64, we have a 64bit kernel but also run 32bit binaries. It tries to pass -m64 to the 32bit compiler.
(In reply to comment #10) > The ppc problem is http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=190113 That's one ppc problem. If you get past that you'll probably run into the headers installation problem of bug 196521. But I think I have a patch for that. It seems to work here.
OK. I'm not waiting on PPC for this for the snapshot, so I'm removing release. If by some miracle this gets fixed in the next couple days, please let me know and I'll pull it into the snapshot.
ppc stable. closing since we're last.
