Emerge man-1.5l-r2 appears to apply patches and configure normally, but
compilation fails on man.c:

colorgcc -c -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -march=athlon-mp -O3
-pipe -fforce-addr -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops -falign-functions=4 -I.
-DSTDC_HEADERS -DPOSIX -DDO_COMPRESS -DGREPSILENT="'q'" man.c
man.c: In function `do_global_apropos':
man.c:1107: `q' undeclared (first use in this function)


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
No out of the ordinary setup to my knowledge.




full output from emerge in attachment

Created an attachment (id=10437) [details]
output from emerge

does this happen without colorgcc as well?

Yes it happens even if colorgcc is unmerged.

I dont know what to do about that 'q' thing anymore.  I have tried to fix it
a dozen ways, and each fails somewhere else.

What version of sed installed (emerge epm; epm -q sed), and attach output of
'emerge info'.

please:/tmp# epm -q sed
sed-4.0.6
please:/tmp# emerge info

Juts FYI, I tried with a pared down CFLAGS and USE commented out completely,
and it still fails in the same way.  

Also, If I replace GREPSILENT in man.c with the char constant 'q' by hand and
it compiles fine.   

OK, so I don't know why the substitution is not working, but I gave up trying
to be subtle.  I change the patch: 

/usr/portage/sys-apps/man/files/man-1.5l-wrong-quotes.patch

which has the offending assignment to just use the hard coded hex ascii vallue
for 'q'

and it builds fine now. I don't know what a better solution is.

Can you merge supersed, and then cp /bin/sed to /bin/sed.old for example,
and then link ssed to sed, and see if it works unpatched then ?

Well, man has always had the "wrong quotes" patch, so I am going to assume you
mean the *original* patch, before I modified it, i.e. the one with 

+GS = -DGREPSILENT="'@grepsilent@'"

Anyhow, I tried what you suggested and it still fails, with the same error. 
The actual gcc command issued looks fine, so I think maybe the problem is after
automake/sed do their business.

Right.  I do not want to hardcode 'q', and thus is why I have not simply
changed
it in the past.  I went with your hexdecimal idea, and changed the patch
to:

Which fixes it, and still will handle 'grepsilent' changing.
