well not sure how to put this but diffutils-2.8.7-r2 has problem to compile with gcc 4.5 (it will hang ) see Bug 340923 has in bug 340923 Ryan Hill suggested filling a stabilization bug here I am. In my opinion the stable version of diffutils should't be stable has it will stop compiling with at least gcc-4.5.* (for me 4.5.2 ). suggest adding the patch from Bug 340923 or choose another version to stabilze. Reproducible: Always Expected Results: stable package should compile without problem independently of compiler version Bug 340923
I am asking to stablize a new version of diffutils or a pached version of diffutils-2.8.7 the one I have had this problem. using stable version :sys-apps/diffutils-2.8.7-r2 after rsync Sun Mar 20 16:17:07 VET 2011 the curent stable one has Bug 340923.
hum I though my whole system was stable. well stable version of gcc is gcc-4.4.5 so I guess my request for stabilization will be invalid. nevertheless it would be nice to have a stable version of diffusion which play nicely with gcc-4.5. I leave this open waiting to have a dev having a look at it to see if this can be addressed or close this bug
