There doesn't seem to be an ebuild for the app fuzz - http://gentoo-portage.com/Search?search=fuzz Fuzz is used to stress test programms, which seems useful to me in a source-based distro. Further info e.g. - http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/devel/fuzz
Due to the fact that the code seems to be quite old (2000) it doesn't compile on a modern gentoo. Thus gives: gentoo fuzz-0.6 # ./configure creating cache ./config.cache checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes checking for working aclocal... found checking for working autoconf... found checking for working automake... found checking for working autoheader... found checking for working makeinfo... found checking for gcc... gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... yes checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) is a cross-compiler... no checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for mawk... no checking for gawk... gawk checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for readline in -lreadline... yes checking how to run the C preprocessor... gcc -E checking for ANSI C header files... yes checking for sys/wait.h that is POSIX.1 compatible... yes checking for fcntl.h... yes checking for unistd.h... yes checking for working const... yes checking for size_t... yes checking whether struct tm is in sys/time.h or time.h... time.h checking return type of signal handlers... void checking for getcwd... yes checking for strdup... yes checking for strerror... yes checking for snprintf... yes checking for getopt_long... yes using libc's getopt_long updating cache ./config.cache creating ./config.status creating Makefile gentoo fuzz-0.6 # make gcc -DPACKAGE=\"fuzz\" -DVERSION=\"0.6\" -DHAVE_LIBREADLINE=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_WAIT_H=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DRETSIGTYPE=void -DHAVE_GETCWD=1 -DHAVE_STRDUP=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_SNPRINTF=1 -I. -I. -g -O2 -c fuzz.c gcc -DPACKAGE=\"fuzz\" -DVERSION=\"0.6\" -DHAVE_LIBREADLINE=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_WAIT_H=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DRETSIGTYPE=void -DHAVE_GETCWD=1 -DHAVE_STRDUP=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_SNPRINTF=1 -I. -I. -g -O2 -c getopt.c gcc -DPACKAGE=\"fuzz\" -DVERSION=\"0.6\" -DHAVE_LIBREADLINE=1 -DSTDC_HEADERS=1 -DHAVE_SYS_WAIT_H=1 -DHAVE_FCNTL_H=1 -DHAVE_UNISTD_H=1 -DRETSIGTYPE=void -DHAVE_GETCWD=1 -DHAVE_STRDUP=1 -DHAVE_STRERROR=1 -DHAVE_SNPRINTF=1 -I. -I. -g -O2 -c getopt1.c gcc -g -O2 -o fuzz fuzz.o getopt.o getopt1.o -lreadline fuzz.o: In function `do_child': /root/fuzzVersuch/fuzz-0.6/fuzz.c:815: warning: `sys_errlist' is deprecated; use `strerror' or `strerror_r' instead gentoo fuzz-0.6 #
Created attachment 94881 [details] fuzz-0.6 ebuild
Created attachment 94882 [details, diff] fuzz-0.6-gentoo patch for sys_errlist
Hello. As the error output says, the use of `sys_errlist' (http://www.mkssoftware.com/docs/man5/sys_errlist.5.asp) is deprecated and applications should use the `strerror' or `strerror_r' functions instead. I've written (and attached) a patch that corrects the problem, as well as an ebuild for version 0.6 of fuzz which compiles and installs correctly on my system (x86). Please let me know if it works for you too. If you need help on installing 3rd party ebuilds (like this one), please refer to: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds Regards.
Hi - following http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds worked out except that I manually had to do the ebuild ... digest, unpack, compile, install, qmerge.

committed as dev-util/fuzz. agorf: since you wrote the ebuilds before you became a developer, I've included you as a maintainer. Various ebuild review notes: - never quote ${A} - glibc is in the system set, and should not be explicitly included (also mucks with the alt guys) - Use the debian patches rather than writing our own, they fix the sys_errlist as well as a $TMPDIR usage issue.
ACK.
