Can you attach the output of strace -o out `which gcompris` as a text/plain
file
please?  I just tried it and it works fine for me.

You might try 

CFLAGS="-pipe" emerge gcompris

and see if that works.  If that helps, we'll need to filter the CFLAGS.

Ok,
tried CFLAGS="-pipe" emerge gcompris and the result is the same: segmentation fault,
I tried strace -o out 'which gcompris' but that does not work on my machine :(

oh, right.  Forgot one detail.

emerge strace first, then try it again. ;-)

strace which gcompris

Ok, try it again, but this time make sure `which gcompris` actually returns
the right answer.  It looks like you didn't have /usr/games/bin/ in your
path.

strace which gcompris now with correct path

ok now i issued the command with the path:
strace -o gcompris2.txt which /usr/games/bin/gcompris

uhh what i think he wants is `strace -o gcompris.txt /usr/games/bin/gcompris`

make sure you're in the games group and you `source /etc/profile`

strace -o gcompris3.txt /usr/games/bin/gcompris


ok, hope this one does the trick

Nope.

please try again.  Make sure the file you're planning to attach is more than just one line. ;-)

gcompris output with more than one line

oops

fyi:

qpkg -l orbit | grep etc

gives no result at all

Fix segfault on startup when LC_ALL,LC_MESSAGES,LANG are not exported

The problem (segfault) happens when LC_ALL,LC_MESSAGES,LANG are not exported -
'locale' var become NULL and strcmp(locale,"C")

4.2-r1 has the patch, thanks sasha
