confirming on gettext-0.12.1-r2.  (although the error is "cannot find
-lrpathx", not "-lrpathy") ;).  might want to change that, i almost missed this
bug when searching. :)

my log is a bit different, but i'm assuming that's because of the version
difference.  i'll include part of it for completeness sake.

one question: do you use LDFLAGS?  they don't show up in 'emerge info'.  i'm
using 'Wl,-O1'

my apologies, i see now that it fails to find BOTH -lrpathx and -lrpathy. 
sorry bout the bugspam as well.

ah, here we go..  

http://www.haible.de/bruno/gettext-FAQ.html#building_rpath_check

...

"If only a few among the many rpath tests fail, you can probably ignore the problem. The rpath tests are sensitive to incomplete shared library support in the system, and to bugs in libtool that creates the shared libraries. Some known failures are listed in autoconf-lib-link/tests/rpath.README."

...

here's what autoconf-lib-link/tests/rpath.README has to say:

...

"The rpath-2* tests are sensitive to
  - incomplete shared library support in the system,
  - bugs in libtool that creates the shared libraries,
  - bugs in lib-link.m4.

The rpath-3* tests are sensitive to
  - incomplete shared library support in the system,
  - bugs in libtool that creates the shared libraries.

* On all platforms supporting shared libraries,
    rpath-3aae rpath-3aag
    rpath-3abe rpath-3abg
  fail. This is a libtool 1.4.2 bug: When a shared library depends on a
  static library indirectly through two different dependency paths,
  libtool attempts to link together invalid sets of object files.

* OSF/1 4.0: the tests
    rpath-2bbd
    rpath-3bbd rpath-3bbf rpath-3bbg rpath-3bbh
  fail, because -rpath options are not cumulative:
  The last -rpath option overrides all previous ones. One would need to
  pass all directories, separated by colons, in a single -rpath option."

...

so looks like there's not much we can do about it except remove maketest from make.conf.

core-devs, is it possible to make a package skip the check phase even if maketest is in FEATURES?  it looks like it's unfixable and therefore make check will _always_ fail and kill the emerge.

i checked the configure --help and it doesn't seem to have the needed option, but i'm clueless about it so maybe there's a universal switch i don't know about.  there is --disable-rpath, but i have no idea what 'do not hardcode runtime library paths' means. ;]

I have the same kind of problems with 0.12.1-r2.

i have a similar problem with 0.14.1

it would be good to note that i am trying to compile from stage1 for a march=pentium-m with a celeron (i don't have the M quite yet, so i wanted to get a headstart)

oh, and the file it asked me to attach didn't seem to be there

seems to be a sandbox issue ... tests run outside of it

took the lazy way out and disabled the sandbox for testing

This is a bit confusing, this bug has been resolved as RESOLVED/FIXED, but why?
On yesterdays portage tree on amd64 (about a dozen ~, but only where necessary)
gettext still failed on the test. I'd suggest the the following files as
solutions. Some are not quite for this bug, but would extend the options to
users. Yes I know: I should make that myself. But: I can't anytime soon, and if
you don't do it I won't complain. So here we go:
/etc/portage/
package.features
package.cflags
package.cxxflags

But apart from that, why has this bug been flagged as resolved by vapier? It's
still there on stable amd64, so probably on stable x86 or other archs as well.
Yes, there is an easy workaround. But that's not exactly what a proper bugfix
is ;)
Thanks for pointing out the sandbox tip tho, will try that later.

damn.  confirming here as well.  i'm getting the same errors in the same places
as my previous log above.  i don't know if this was even fixed in the first
place since i never happened to actually test if it worked after it was marked
resolved. =P

i still stand by the comment #3.  there's just no possible way that this can
pass on a Gentoo system IMHO.  documented examples to cause gettext test
failures include:

- building it with --disable-nls
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-utils/2004-08/msg00074.html

- having a java compiler installed on the system
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter05/gettext.html

- building it on a platform that supports shared libraries
autoconf-lib-link/tests/rpath.README

nor do i think this is a Gentoo or sandbox issue.  LFS and DiY-Linux mention
the test failures as well, and either ignore them or work around them in their
own way.

even the gettext FAQ states that some tests will fail, and advises the user to
just disregard it.
http://www.haible.de/bruno/gettext-FAQ.html#building_rpath_check

solutions that i did see mentioned are:
1) make -C gettext-tools check.
2) cd gettext-tools; make check; cd ..

both are the same thing, i know, but i don't know which would be more practical
in an ebuild, or if it works at all.
