Please attach the following file when filing a report to bugs.gentoo.org: !!! /var/tmp/portage/x11-wm/blackbox-0.70.0/work/blackbox-0.70.0/config.log !!! ERROR: x11-wm/blackbox-0.70.0 failed.

So I wonder if I try to get all this thing to work... without getting myself into the gcc nightmare.
We really can't depend on dev-libs/libiconv; it kills glibc.
(In reply to comment #1) > We really can't depend on dev-libs/libiconv; it kills glibc. Doesn't portage allow an 'if uclibc then do this otherwise do that'? (Or depend on a virtual iconv package?)
There is no iconv support for uClibc at gentoo. Please use another peice of software. XFCE is known work with only minor modifcations.
