Created attachment 62837 [details, diff] patch for src/cacheTk/cdbCache.cc this patch fix the problem. I put a cast on the variable which causes the compilation to abort.
Created attachment 62838 [details] ebuild with patch applied This ebuild can replace safely the one in portage with the last patch placed in files directory of app-portage/eix
with the files i comited previously. eix-0.2.6 emerges fine on PPC, x86. So, i think it's fixed.
Please, don't mark bugs fixed when they are not fixed in the portage tree.
sorry, i didn't know.
Thanks, applied to upstream cvs.
This bugs is only present for PPC architecture. gcc compiles it fine on x86.
Not just on PPC, it happens on SPARC64 as well.
it seems weird to me that gcc on both PPC and SPARC doesn't manage to cast an uint* to a char*.
fixed
