QA checks for package directory /mnt/usbdisc/portage/dev-libs/openobex: dev-libs/openobex-1.1: dep flags: major: Conditional flag 'usb' in DEPEND not in IUSE major: Conditional flag 'usb' in RDEPEND not in IUSE dev-libs/openobex-1.1: depend packages: maybe: Suspicious DEPEND entry 'virtual/libc' Looks like IUSE is incomplete. I'll fix this if the bug is left alone for a few days.
beside those problems, I've spotted another one. apparently, the nostrip restriction was needed back in 2004 because the so file didn't had any symbols. however, this version doesn't seem to suffer from the same disease. try to run "objdump --dynamic-syms /usr/lib/libopenobex.so" after you installed the 1.1 version with the RESTRICT line commented out and you'll see dozens of exported symbols.
Fixed both issues. Thanks a lot!
