The bug wasn't a net-misc/curl bug, nor a bug at all. The 'conftest' utility, relying on libidn, coudln't start because the libidn wasn't compiled in PIE (Position Independant Executable). Under the PaX security patch, the ELF .text relocation are not allowed so any program relying on a library with relocation inside won't work, excepted if the PaX protection is disable with the 'paxctl' utility. I switched to another GCC profile with PIE enabled and recompiled libidn, now this is working. Thanks liquidx for spotting this in the config.log, and sorry for the waste of time. I will look deeper into config.log file next time.
I have this problem now with net-misc/curl-7.15.0. But this is a plain gcc (without hardened etc). I recompiled libidn (although I didn't had the idn-use-flag set). The error still exists.
(In reply to comment #2) Same problem with net-misc/curl-7.15.0. and plain gcc: ======================================================================== configure:2663: i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --version </dev/null >&5 i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc (GCC) 3.3.5 20050130 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.5.20050130, ssp-3.3.5.20050130-1, pie-8.7.7.1) (I also tried with gcc 3.4.4) ======================================================================== and ======================================================================== $ ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --enable-ldap --without-libidn --disable-gssapi --disable-ipv6 --enable-http --enable-ftp --enable-gopher --enable-file --enable-dict --enable-manual --enable-telnet --enable-nonblocking --enable-largefile --disable-ares --disable-krb4 --without-gnutls --with-ssl=/usr --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu ======================================================================== say "--without-libidn" ??
Small update: Without the ssl use-flag, curl compiles fine. Even with idn set.
one of the intermediate libraries there is linking to the wrong libidn. dor a revdep-rebuild to fix.
