When trying to update world I fell upon this bug in libperl emerge. It ran a script to interact and answer questions to install perl. This is the trailing dump of "emerge libperl" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you make a mistake on a question, there is no easy way to back up to it currently. The easiest thing to do is to edit config.sh and rerun all the SH files. Configure will offer to let you do this before it runs the SH files. [Type carriage return to continue] Locating common programs... I don't know where 'awk' is, and my life depends on it. Go find a public domain implementation or fix your PATH setting! !!! ERROR: sys-devel/libperl-5.8.7 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 238, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) !!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.
Oh damn, I think i really raised the severity level higher than it needed to be, but I still hope it gets me an answer soon cause I do need it A.S.A.P I'm sitting on a messed up production server. Thank!
Could you please provide output from `emerge info`? Also, do you have sys-apps/gawk installed? Maybe you should try to emerge it, and re-emerge libperl. mcummings, could that be a missing DEPEND? :-)

I'm really not sure it has anything to do with your problem, but could you set -march=k6-2 in both CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS?
(In reply to comment #2) > mcummings, could that be a missing DEPEND? :-) > Nope. Stage 1 demands an awk on your box - and you can't be here without one :)
Brian, How was this box built? Not trying to be glib, but even if you started at stage1 you'd have awk on the box. I'm leaning towards a confusion on which stage you unpacked vs. your flags, but that's really outside my areas of expertise i'm afraid. I think in this case the libperl install is just highlighting a problem on your box, not the root of it. I realize that doesn't help any :/
Isn't this the $GREP_OPTIONS problem we had a while ago? Brian, please echo $GREP_OPTIONS and make sure -i isn't in there. HTH...
yes, i think this was the grep alias/options bug we ran into a month or so ago.
no updates, closing
