Using the internal klibc in genkernel-3.3.10 on ppc with gentoo-sources-2.6.15, it fails with gcc -Wp,-MT,fork.o,-MD,./.fork.o.d -Os -D__KLIBC__=1 -D__KLIBC_MINOR__=1 -nostdlib -nostdinc -iwithprefix include -I../include /arch/ppc -I../include/bits32 -I../include -I../linux/include -I../linux/include2 -I../linux/include -I../linux/arch/ppc/includ e -I./zlib -I./zlib -DWITH_ERRLIST -W -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings -Wstrict-prototypes -Winline -DDYNAMIC_CRC_TABLE -c -o fork.o fork.c In file included from ../include/signal.h:13, from fork.c:9: ../linux/arch/ppc/include/asm/signal.h:14: error: `BITS_PER_LONG' undeclared here (not in a function) make[1]: *** [fork.o] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/genkernel/17907.14213.32028.8277/klibc-1.1.1/klibc' make: *** [all] Error 2 There is already a patch for this error in klibc's git: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=libs/klibc/klibc.git;a=commitdiff;h=dc6694ab699720c9e3519c5a98afd160f04a6fdc Okay, this patch kills this error, but there is another now. After that I tried with klibc-1.1.16 (testing-branch), but this gives me errors (but others) as well. Instead of trying to fix klibc-1.1.1, I'll have a deeper look into the 1.1.16-errors. This bug has been written to track the error and just let you genkernel-guys know ;) Any hints appreciated!
klibc-1.1.16 works, but gen_compile.sh needs some changes (as the make-environment in klibc changed). Now udev spits out a lot of warnings related to klibc, but in the end it could be installed. Have a look on the attached changes to gen_compile.sh
Created attachment 76555 [details, diff] gen_compile.sh for ppc and klibc-1.1.16
is that only related to ppc ? used 3.3.10 gives me the samme error with klibc on amd64
seems genkernel 3.3.6 is lost in portage :( can we have it back please ?
I have added genkernel 3.3.11_pre1 into the tree with this patch. Once I verify that it doesn't blow up on x86/amd64, I'll add it to genkernel CVS (we're being cautious this close to release)...

OK, so I reverted the above patch and changed my /etc/genkernel.conf to use klibc-1.1.1 (and added back byteswap.h) and got the *exact* same error on compiling, which leads me to believe that it is not related to the above patch.
I've added this to CVS and it is in 3.3.11_pre1+ so you shouldn't have any problems. Now, I just need to resolve the issue with x86 compilation, but it doesn't appear to be related.
