Bugzilla Bug 5887

I've been unable to update to 1.5k because gcc fails with this error: 
 
./makemsg ../msgs/mess.en gripedefs.h msg.c 
gcc -c -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -march=i686 -O3 
-fomit-frame-pointer -pipe -I. -DSTDC_HEADERS -DPOSIX -DDO_COMPRESS 
-DGREPSILENT=\'q\' man.c 
man.c: In function `do_global_apropos': 
man.c:1087: `q' undeclared (first use in this function) 
man.c:1087: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once 
man.c:1087: for each function it appears in.) 
make[1]: *** [man.o] Error 1 
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/man-1.5k/work/man-1.5k/src' 
make: *** [source] Error 2

What gcc are you using ?  and what is your USE flags ?

Im using gcc 2.95.3 
Tried with "USE="-arts -3dnow -gnome" AND 
with _no_ USE flags at all.  Same error. 

I manually got it to build by taking the -DGREPSILENT=\'q\' out from the   
command line and manually editing man.c in 2 places (i think), replacing the   
GREPSILENT with 'q' in the source code.   
   
It then compiled properly and i appear to be able to run man, makewhatis,  
and whatis itself without any problems... but a friend was able to compile 1.5k 
without any problems with the same version of all software (we essentially had 
the exact same packages to upgrade if we both did a -pu world so everything 
else should be the same) 

Could you try to first remerge grep, then gcc and see if that makes an
difference?

New info ...

Just had the same issue.  It should be fixed for man-1.5k-r1.
