Created attachment 314603 [details, diff] patch to remove '-L/usr/lib[64]' from *_LIB_SPEC in tclConfig.sh As tclConfig.h included -L/usr/lib64 (and presumably -L/usr/lib, on 32bit archs) with all of the *_LIB_SPEC variables, this can cause issues when building libs that depend on tcl. If such a lib (in my case, the tcl and tk extensions in media-gfx/graphviz) links its tcl components against other internal libs, then libtool will erroneously link against already installed system versions instead of versions within $WORKDIR. As an example, emerge graphviz-2.26.* (which installs libgvc.so.5), then upgrade to graphviz-2.28.0 with USE="tcl" enabled (which builds and installs libgvc.so.6). Running the following: for ech in `equery f graphviz |grep -e 'usr/bin' -e 'usr/lib.*\.so'` ; do scanelf -n $ech; done |grep libgvc.so |grep -v libgvc.so.6 ...will show that all of the tcl libraries are linked against libgvc.so.5 instead of libgvc.so.6 Removing -L/usr/lib64 from the *_LIB_SPEC variables in tclConfig.h resolves this issue. The attached patch to tcl-8.5.10-r1.ebuild modifies the sed rules to tclConfig.sh to bring about the desired results. Note that I modified all four *_LIB_SPEC variables rather than checking to see which ones in particular are used by graphviz.
