Could you try with genkernel 3.3.8?
Calculating dependencies ...done! [ebuild R ] sys-kernel/genkernel-3.3.8 -bootsplash -ibm 0 kB That's what I'm using.
Not according to your genkernel log attached...
Created attachment 74745 [details] genkernel.log Here's the correct log file.
ping on this bug?

The klibc issue is fixed by http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112742
Is this tested as working for you?
yes. That's obviously not the "correct" fix. You can see there's an issue in the code because it's doing a double copy. Once for Pegasos systems and once because it thinks it's MIPS. Because it's the MIPS copy that's failing. But yes, removing the rm and using the klibc patch I can generate a kernel that will boot on my system

If the copy command under the mips piece is firing, then MIPS_EMBEDDED_IMAGE is getting defined someplace and that's a wholly different bug. That value is only defined in mips/config.sh, so if genkernel is enabling it, then it must be somehow processing the mips config w/ the ppc config, and that's a genkernel bug.
ok.. Eric, Obviously it worked if I posted it here and said this cleared up the issue. I wasn't gonna give a "duh" answer to your "duh" question. But since Josh had to make a "duh" comment, lemme kill two birds with one stone. Josh, OBVIOUSLY that's the case. It's the MIPS copy that's causing the error message hence the variable is being incorrectly enabled in the ppc profile. And like I've been saying on IRC, this is still a genkernel bug. I hope I've spoken clearly for everyone this time around.
Ok, I think this *specific* bug should be fixed in the latest _pre releases. Cardoe, I know you've been having issues with klibc not working so if you want to file another bug for that and the klibc -> .bz2 swap go right ahead. Thanks.
