Platform is SUSE Enterprise 10 SP2. Bootstrapping fails at the `USE=-git emerge -u system' step, after emerging 20+ packages. The console has: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -march=i686 -pipe -m32 -I/local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-prefix-1.12.5-r10/work/gnulib -I/local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-prefix-1.12.5-r10/work/gnulib/gllib -DLIBDIR=\"lib\" -c -o runscript.o runscript.c In file included from runscript.c:20: core/misc.h:250: error: expected identifier or '(' before '__extension__' make: *** [runscript.o] Error 1 make: Leaving directory `/local/scratch/portage/sys-apps/baselayout-prefix-1.12.5-r10/work/baselayout-1.12.5/src' * ERROR: sys-apps/baselayout-prefix-1.12.5-r10 failed (compile phase): * (no error message)
@haubi: shall we add a bootstrap USE-flag that skips the compilation? That's how I bootstrapped on SolarisECE yesterday.
and with the amount of patches we have, maybe it is a good idea to fork the sources we use now, put it in some repo (gentoo-alt svn, or a new git overlay?) and develop it there?

That's > how I bootstrapped on SolarisECE yesterday. I don't think this should be necessary at all. For AIX I've added a local instance of gnulib exactly for bootstrap (and for some 'restrict' keyword issue with external gnulib). So for anything that's missing during bootstrap I'd like to extend the local gnulib when possible.

As the current state somehow looks like "dead upstream" to me: +1
Rabbe is on SuSE. Works for me on Solaris and Darwin too. I guess easiest for now is to put this next to our binutils-whatever code in svn.

Porting to non-GNU systems without gnulib isn't a good idea, taking strndup from gnulib now too - without revbump. Tested on AIX 5.3, Solaris 10 (x86), amd64-Gentoo in 32bit Prefix each.
