On both sparc and amd64, using compiler gcc-3.4.6-r{1,2} (-r1 on amd64, -r2 on sparc), anw with USE flags: USE="X berkdb readline ssl tetex -doc -gmp -java -minimal -odbc -static -threads" FEATURES=test emerge -uv swi-prolog fails with: ================================================== In file included from pl-incl.h:2175, from pl-wam.c:27: pl-funcs.h:922: error: syntax error before "PL_thread_info_t" ================================================== And the offending source line is: COMMON(int) unify_thread_id(term_t id, PL_thread_info_t *info); HOWEVER, if instead I do =========================== FEATURES=test USE=threads emerge -uv swi-prolog =========================== then everything builds fine.

Thanks for reporting this. Fixed in cvs, and patch sent upstream. Keri
