Bug 431686 – sys-devel/gnuconfig: config.sub should be made aware of musl as a possible libc in the tuple

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Anthony Basile 2012-08-16 22:12:15 UTC]

When building a musl based system, where the tuple is of the form CHOST="x86_64-gentoo-linux-musl", gnuconfig's config.sub fails to recognize the "machine".  Eg.

CFLAGS="-D_GNU_SOURCE -D_BSD_SOURCE" CBUILD="x86_64-gentoo-linux-gnu" CC=musl-gcc ROOT=rootfs PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT=rootfs emerge ncurses
