looks like it does not even compile.

Hrm.  This is weird.  Works fine for me.  Without having more information, the
only thing I can guess is that base_src_compile() is not getting inherited for
some reason (tmpwatch doesn't need it's own src_compile).

Here is what it *should* look like:

>>> Source unpacked.
gcc -O2 -march=athlon-xp -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -Wall -DVERSION=\"2.9.1\"
-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -D_GNU_SOURCE    tmpwatch.c   -o
tmpwatch
>>> Test phase [none]: app-admin/tmpwatch-2.9.1.1

>>> Install tmpwatch-2.9.1.1 into /var/tmp/portage/tmpwatch-2.9.1.1/image/ category app-admin


Can you provide any other information?

I tried this on my all stable machine, and was able to reproduce this finally;
it looks like with a stable portage (2.0.50-r11), base_src_compile() isn't
getting inherited, so I am re-adding src_compile().

Thanks for the report.
