As I'm building a new system by more or less copying an old one, a full emerge from stage 3 eventually gives me: >>> Failed to emerge dev-lang/nqp-2014.02, Log file: >>> '/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/nqp-2014.02/temp/build.log' >>> Jobs: 374 of 763 complete, 1 failed Load avg: 3.65, 3.10, 3.65 * Package: dev-lang/nqp-2014.02 * Repository: gentoo * Maintainer: patrick@gentoo.org perl@gentoo.org * USE: amd64 elibc_glibc java kernel_linux parrot userland_GNU * FEATURES: distcc preserve-libs sandbox splitdebug userpriv usersandbox >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking nqp-2014.02.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/nqp-2014.02/work >>> Source unpacked in /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/nqp-2014.02/work >>> Preparing source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/nqp-2014.02/work/perl6-nqp-f8a6106 ... >>> Source prepared. >>> Configuring source in /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/nqp-2014.02/work/perl6-nqp-f8a6106 ...

However, I suspect that the ebuild should prereq 1.7, and possibly override the current VM to be 1.7 or higher. Reproducible: Always
