/usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh checks for the 'build' USE flag at line 179: "if (ORIGUSE ~ /[[:space:]]*(build|bootstrap)[[:space:]]*/)" Due to the wildcard before "(build|bootstrap)" and within the spaces, the dev-php/php local USE flag 'fastbuild' satisfies the condition and causes the script to die if present (e.g. in /etc/make.conf). I believe this is in error, as the the 'fastbuild' USE flag (and any other hypothetical '*build' flags) should cause no problem with bootstrapping. Not sure why the asterisk is present, but unless there is some other USE flag we are attempting to block with the wildcard expression, a logical solution seems to simply remove the asterisk. Obvious workaround is to simply comment 'fastbuild' (from /etc/make.conf) until completion of boostrap step. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set 'fastbuild' USE flag, e.g. by /etc/make.conf or by setting it on the commandline before the next step (although the latter would be silly). 2. scripts/bootstrap.sh from /usr/portage/ as per Gentoo Handbook Actual Results: Script dies (eerror) with: You have 'build' or 'bootstrap' in your USE flags. Please remove it before trying to continue, since these USE flags are used for internal purposes and shouldn't be specified by you. Expected Results: Script should continue to run unless one of 'build' and 'bootstrap' is present as well.
Fixed in CVS...
