Here's the error: >>> emerge (1 of 1) sys-apps/gawk-3.1.3-r1 to / >>> md5 src_uri ;-) gawk-3.1.3.tar.gz >>> Checking gawk-3.1.3.tar.gz's mtime... >>> Not marked as unpacked; recreating WORKDIR... >>> Unpacking source... >>> Unpacking gawk-3.1.3.tar.gz to /var/tmp/portage/gawk-3.1.3-r1/work cp: illegal option -- d usage: cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src target cp [-R [-H | -L | -P]] [-f | -i | -n] [-pv] src1 ... srcN directory !!! ERROR: sys-apps/gawk-3.1.3-r1 failed. !!! Function src_unpack, Line 24, Exitcode 64 !!! cp failed !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message. This looks like a cp incompatibility. The equivalent option on macos is "-P" (don't follow symlinks/no-reference). I believe this is also the POSIX standard option and the gnu utils are changing to -P instead of -d, so maybe the ebuild can just be changed to "cp -PR" instead of "cp -dR"?
The manpage agrees that -d is merely a compatibility symlink to the newer POSIX -P option since file-utils 4.1 Compile-tested in overlay, changing ebuilds now.
In CVS. Thank you for your report, if you sync in two hours, the updated ebuild will be in your tree.
