You receive this bug because this package does not respect my system's CC ( x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc - /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc ) and calls directly gcc -/usr/bin/gcc The possible solutions to fix this issue are: 1)Fix the buildsystem, if you can 2)inherit toolchain-funcs and use tc-export CC 3)inherit toolchain-funcs and use emake CC="$(tc-getCC)" /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile gcc -std=gnu99 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/mpir-2.6.0/work/mpir-2.6.0/mpn -I.. -D__GMP_WITHIN_GMP -I/var/tmp/portage/sci-libs/mpir-2.6.0/work/mpir-2.6.0 -DOPERATION_`echo mod_1 | sed 's/_$//'` -march=native -O2 -g0 -pipe -c -o mod_1.lo mod_1.c
there is a lot of magic in configure.in I fear doing those toolchain calls could break cross-compiling (although I don't even know if it works with the current ebuild)

Be that as it may, exporting the correct CC variable should not make things worse (otherwise its a bug in the build system). I bumped to -r1 in ~arch so that we can test this for a while. Anyone who regularly tests cross compile in sci? Please step forward. + 19 Feb 2013; Thomas Kahle <tomka@gentoo.org> +mpir-2.6.0-r1.ebuild: + use systems CC instead of gcc (bug 457912)
