Please don't assign bugs unless you know where they should be going.
Rune, I didn't get any errors. It seems the only difference is the kernel version, the CFLAGS, the FEATURES and the MAKEOPTS. Try changing one of these to see the results.

I can confirm this problem: # USE="-unicode" emerge links emerges successfuly, # USE="unicode" emerge links fails to emerge, error is as reported by Rune.
please try again
Rui, Send your emerge --info pls.

Confirm this problem. Links still not compile with unicode... Fix it please....
I can still confirm that LInks will not compile. I cannot see why CFLASG should be altered becuase, mine is much simpler than your, Ingo. I get the same error as #8 Rui :(
I can confirm, that the BUG still exists.
I got the #1 error message only after rebuilding ncurses with unicode USE flag. I've been playing with unicode support all day today. I rebuilt links with unicode flag a few times without any error. To fix behaviour of links with unicode support I rebuilt ncurses with unicode and then tried to rebuild links once again - only in that moment I got the #1 error message. Maybe this info will help someone to trace the error source.
I've solved it :-) The problem is in Links source in file "intl/english.lng". There are 2 words in Czech language ("Přejmenovat" and "Přepsat" meaning "Rename" and "Overwrite") amongst English texts. They're in iso-8859-2 encoding, so they contain charracters illegal in UTF8. When gen-intl is lauched, it corrupts language.h - you can see text "řejmenovat" there, which really isn't a valid C statement. It's important to mention that you can encounter this bug only when you use an UTF8 locale (because 8-bit encodings don't have any illegal characters). I attached a "patched patch" - links-2.1pre15-utf8.diff.bz2 with "translation" of those offending Czech words :-)
Created attachment 45996 [details] Replacement of links-2.1pre15-utf8.diff.bz2 which fixes this bug
Lukas Turek has the correct solution. File links-2.1_pre15.ebuild has two lines "export LANG=C" that try to work around this problem. However those should have been "export LC_CTYPE=C" for the workaround to act correctly. You can check it with: LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 USE=unicode emerge links
The bug was fixed upstream (in CVS version).

thx, i updated the patch
