Created attachment 320650 [details] build log for nm-applet-0.8.4 gnome-extra/nm-applet-0.8.4 fails to compile on both of my ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" gentoo systems. It fails thusly: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: note: 'sincos@@GLIBC_2.2.5' is defined in DSO /usr/lib64/libm.so so try adding it to the linker command line /usr/lib64/libm.so: could not read symbols: Invalid operation The latest version (0.9.4.1) compiles just fine.

It looks to me like your system is having big problems, not this package in particular.
(In reply to comment #2) > It looks to me like your system is having big problems, not this package in > particular. How so? I run a GNOME-centric mostly stable system on two different PC's (one is AMD+nvidia, the other a laptop with an Intel i3). Someone else here has the same problem (the OP): http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-915160-highlight-.html
(In reply to comment #3) To clarify, I'm having this problem on both my AMD system and my Intel laptop. I can give you the make.conf and package.keywords files for both if you think they would be useful in tracking down any problems.
nm-applet-0.8.4 had certainly built successfully a year ago or so. I am guessing that the sudden appearance of this linking failure was caused by a recent change in some dependency of nm-applet that moved an "-lm" in a pkgconfig file from the Libs line to the Libs.private line. Fixed in cvs without a revision bump, since users who had successfully emerged nm-applet-0.8.4 have no need to rebuild it. Thanks for reporting the problem! > 09 Aug 2012; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> > nm-applet-0.8.4.ebuild, +files/nm-applet-0.8.4-utils-libm.patch: > Fix linking failure (bug #430360, thanks to James).
Thanks Tetromino!
