sys-libs/db-4.7.25_p3 doesn't build because it fails at the mutex configuration with: checking for mutexes... (cached) no configure: error: Unable to find a mutex implementation There is already a workaround for a similar problem for amd64 in the ebuild which works the same way for arm (tested it, builds fine). Just add: $(use arm && echo --with-mutex=ARM/gcc-assembly) to econf, exactly like it happens with amd64, works fine for me. It is possible, that this effect only occurs while cross-compiling, unfortunately I can't compile it on real hardware yet because it's a base-package. :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try building it, it will fail 2. modify the ebuild like mentioned 3. build again, it will work
Same here. It also applies to 4.6.21_p4. Building on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, for what it's worth.
thanks, added to cvs http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-libs/db/db-4.7.25_p4.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
