The ebuild tries to figure out the architecture in the src_configure section. This is what the test code returns on my machine: > echo >test.c > i686-apple-darwin9-gcc -c test.c -o test.o > file test.o test.o: data As a consequence, it dies with "failed to detect whether your arch is 64bits or 32bits, disable distcc if you're using it". If I override it with 'myconf="${myconf} --enable-64bit"', the ebuild installs just fine.

@mozilla: could you agree with this change to solve this problem, which occasionally seems to me like a simplification as well? @Sven: could you test this patch if it works for you? =================================================================== RCS file: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/dev-libs/nspr/nspr-4.8.7.ebuild,v retrieving revision 1.1 diff -u -r1.1 nspr-4.8.7.ebuild --- nspr-4.8.7.ebuild 14 Jan 2011 13:37:10 -0000 1.1 +++ nspr-4.8.7.ebuild 12 Feb 2011 13:00:19 -0000 @@ -43,9 +43,9 @@ echo > "${T}"/test.c $(tc-getCC) -c "${T}"/test.c -o "${T}"/test.o - case $(file "${T}"/test.o) in - *64-bit*|*ppc64*|*x86_64*) myconf="${myconf} --enable-64bit";; - *32-bit*|*ppc*|*i386*|*"RISC System/6000"*) ;; + case $(scanelf -BF'%M' "${T}"/test.o)$(scanmacho -BF'%M' "${T}"/test.o) in + ELFCLASS64*|POWERPC64*|X86_64*) myconf="${myconf} --enable-64bit";; + ELFCLASS32*|POWERPC*|I386*|ARM*) ;; *) die "Failed to detect whether your arch is 64bits or 32bits, disable distcc if you're using it, please";; esac cvs diff: Diffing files
The patch works for me, it enters the "ELFCLASS32*|POWERPC*|I386*|ARM*)" clause.
@mozilla: I went ahead and committed this change. I hope this is ok with you. If not, please revert and reopen this bug so we can find a solution that works for both of us. Thanks.
(In reply to comment #3) > - case $(file "${T}"/test.o) in > + case $(scanelf -BF'%M' "${T}"/test.o)$(scanmacho -BF'%M' "${T}"/test.o) in Not important enough to reopen ATM, just to note: There is no $(scanelf) or $(scanmacho) on AIX and others, so $(file) still feels necessary.
