After tests from Sir-Satan, jakub, welp and whitehawk on amd64/x86 hardened/no-hardened I'm almost sure this problem occurs only on amd64/hardened.

Ideally attach a log of the complete emerge.

lirc also fails on my amd64-hardened system - exact same error as above.  i tried disabled each optimization one by one but always received the same error.  i was preparing my system for mythtv.  didn't have lirc previously.  i even tried disabling the only set lirc use flag "X".  below is some system info:

lirc failed ebuild
Comment 8 christian 2007-01-30 00:03:23 UTC
in addition to lirc-0.8.0-r8, i also tried to emerge each of the ~amd64 higher version lirc-0.8.1 and the stable lower version lirc-0.8.0-r5, but both failed with the same error, "unrecognised emulation mode."
Comment 9 Mike Benson 2007-05-09 14:00:49 UTC
I have tried with all versions up to and including 0.8.2_pre2.

Ebuild fails with the following:
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc  -march=athlon64 -mtune=athlon64 -pipe -O3 -fweb -frename-registers -fforce-addr -ftracer  -m elf_x86_64 -o irw irw.o
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared  .libs/lirc_client.o   -march=athlon64 -mtune=athlon64 -m -Wl,-soname -Wl,liblirc_client.so.0 -o .libs/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: -Wl,-soname
Supported emulations: elf_x86_64 elf_i386 i386linux
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [liblirc_client.la] Error 1

The problem appears to be the stray "-m" on the libtool commandline

It must be an ebuild problem. If you do a manual make in /var/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.2_pre2/work/lirc-0.8.2pre2, it succeeds.
Comment 10 Mike Benson 2007-05-29 02:57:13 UTC
I have to retract my previous comment. It's not an ebuild bug, it's a libtool bug. I can reproduce it on the command line like so:
# /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc  -march=athlon64 -mtune=athlon64 -pipe -O3 -fweb -frename-registers -fforce-addr -ftracer -version-info 2:0:2 -m elf_x86_64 -o liblirc_client.la -rpath /usr/lib64 lirc_client.lo
rm -fr  .libs/liblirc_client.a .libs/liblirc_client.la .libs/liblirc_client.lai .libs/liblirc_client.so .libs/liblirc_client.so.0 .libs/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0
x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared  .libs/lirc_client.o   -march=athlon64 -mtune=athlon64 -m -Wl,-soname -Wl,liblirc_client.so.0 -o .libs/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: -Wl,-soname
Supported emulations: elf_x86_64 elf_i386 i386linux
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Alternately, if I delete the space between the "-m" and "elf_x86_64", I get:
 # /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC   --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc  -march=athlon64 -mtune=athlon64 -pipe -O3 -fweb -frename-registers -fforce-addr -ftracer -version-info 2:0:2 -melf_x86_64 -o liblirc_client.la -rpath /usr/lib64 lirc_client.lo

(cd .libs && rm -f liblirc_client.so.0 && ln -s liblirc_client.so.0.2.0 liblirc_client.so.0)
(cd .libs && rm -f liblirc_client.so && ln -s liblirc_client.so.0.2.0 liblirc_client.so)

creating liblirc_client.la
(cd .libs && rm -f liblirc_client.la && ln -s ../liblirc_client.la liblirc_client.la)

It looks to me like this is actually a problem with how libtool handles the -m switch. I have libtool 1.5.23b installed.

How do I fix that - I haven't been able to find where the flag gets set!
Comment 11 Mike Benson 2007-05-29 05:09:34 UTC
(In reply to comment #10)

> How do I fix that - I haven't been able to find where the flag gets set!

Well, I found it - at least a workaround.

/usr/portage/profiles/hardened/make.defaults sets
LDFLAGS_amd64="-m elf_x86_64"

Change that to 
LDFLAGS_amd64="-melf_x86_64"

And the package emerges!

One of a number of things seem to be going on (maybe more than one):
(1) libtool can't handle the argument -m elf_x86_64 correctly.
(2) It may not be sensible to ask it to accept an ld argument that gcc does not
    accept - the form perhaps ought to be -Wl,-m -Wl,elf_x86_64 ?
(3) That LDFLAGS_amd64 definition in
    /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/amd64/make.defaults is
    obsolete/dangerous/nonsensical and should be changed or shouldn't be there

I'm not sure which is correct, and therefore what the correct fix is?
Comment 12 Joseph Turian 2007-09-18 04:01:28 UTC
Has the cause of this bug been determined yet?

I do not have the above in my /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/make.defaults.
Instead I had to modify /usr/portage/profiles/hardened/amd64/make.defaults

Comment 16 Jory A. Pratt gentoo-dev 2009-09-13 23:31:19 UTC
Anyone using a hardened/arch profile is urged to update to a current profile. Please use eselect profile list to select a hardened/linux/arch/10.0 profile.
Comment 17 Francisco Blas Izquierdo Riera gentoo-dev 2009-09-13 23:38:26 UTC
After upgrading to the 10.0 profile worked for me on AMD64/multilib :)
Comment 18 Gordon Malm (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-09-14 04:07:21 UTC
Seems to me its a problem of the pkg build system doing something funny.  LDFLAGS_amd64="-m elf_x86_64" is valid.  Ref: http://devmanual.gentoo.org/archs/amd64/index.html

I don't think its really necessary to have in the profile anymore, but I don't think its wrong either.  As Jory stated, hardened/${arch} profiles are going to be deprecated very shortly, so I'm not going to remove it and risk a problem.

Re-assigning to pkg owner to decide what they want to do about the pkg with repsect to its handling of LDFLAGS_amd64.
Comment 19 Magnus Granberg gentoo-dev 2010-07-27 17:04:52 UTC
It should have use -Wl,foo
When passing linking flags tru gcc, -Wl should be just.
And it is removed in the newer profiles so it not longer a problem and i will close this bug.
Comment 20 Federico Cuello 2011-12-11 19:07:35 UTC
http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/profiles/arch/amd64/make.defaults?r1=1.9&r2=1.10

LDFLAGS_amd64="-m elf_x86_64" was added on 2011/12/07 to make.defaults breaking lirc 0.9.0 and 0.8.7. Perphaps this bug should be re-opened?

The build failure is the same as before:

  ld: unrecognised emulation mode: -Wl,-soname
  Supported emulations: elf_x86_64 elf_i386 i386linux
Comment 21 Adam Stylinski 2011-12-14 05:25:27 UTC
I am seeing this as well, I agree it should be re-opened and a bug should be filed with the portage/profile maintainers to notify them that it breaks specifically this package (but perhaps others that use libtool as well).
Comment 22 Vu Tran Kien 2012-01-05 13:15:48 UTC
I encounter this issue too on amd64 system (desktop/gnome profile), I have to manually alter the emerge environment by prefixing LDFLAGS_amd64='-melf...' to make lirc to emerge successfully!
Comment 23 Elijah "Armageddon" El Lazkani (amd64 AT) 2012-03-18 01:57:45 UTC
Please do not CC arches on your own
Comment 24 Martin DiViaio 2012-03-19 16:44:24 UTC
One question:

Isn't this a problem with libtool/autoconf?

After all, it's the libtool script that is partially removing the option incorrectly.

The fact that the option was added to the profile only brought the bug to the surface.

By the way, I can confirm this problem on my AMD64 system. My current profile is:
default/linux/amd64/10.0/desktop

My workaround was:
LDFLAGS_amd64="" emerge -1av app-misc/lirc

Patch to fix lirc-0.9.0.ebuild

Incredible how long this bug has remained unresolved.  Seriously, 5 years!?!

Okay, here's the problem:

The lirc build system attempts to configure kernel modules using autotools/libtool, this is problematic due to the fact that the kernel tree has differing ideas about certain things than autotools, in particular LDFLAGS, which in the kernel are "raw" as passed directly to ld, whereas userland packages typically pass LDFLAGS though gcc utilising the linker-flag prefix "-Wl".

Solution:

1. Make configure happy by setting up ABI to build kernel modules in the same way as linux-mod.eclass, this allows the drivers to be configured sucessfully.

2. Do not use linux-mod.ecass to run econf, but do so directly by utilising EXTRA_ECONF (and econf src_compile) in place of ECONF_PARAMS, linux-mod.ecass automagically does the right thing.

3. Separate the userland/kernel build process, so "make all" from the top-level only builds userland (autotools style).

4. Use linux-mod.eclass src_compile stage to *only* build the kernel modules in the "drivers" subdir not the top-level srcdir.

5. Install the drivers after installing the userspace part from the top-level srcdir.

Sorry, I am on the wrong bug. -j1 doesn't work in that case.
Comment 35 László Szalma 2012-06-01 17:43:30 UTC
I used the patch attached, and lirc builds now!

Interesting: I have an other machine, it is ~amd64 and genlop shows:

     Tue Jun 14 21:54:42 2011 >>> app-misc/lirc-0.9.0

So it worked then! I tried to remerge it, but it failed... It works there with the patch too. I don't know what changed since, (everything :D )

I hope -r1 will be in the tree soon, I think the current state of the ebuild is not working.
Comment 36 Juergen Rose 2012-06-09 10:35:50 UTC

It's a patch against the ebuild itself not for the package.

Far too long, thank you for solving this! Works for me on stable x86_64, too.

Kind of a me too, but for a diferent version. I used the 0.9.0 patch and manually applied it to 0.8.7 and it fixed the issue for me as well.

Unpatched versions of lirc have not worked for me since the beginning of this year (I think since 0.9.0 was introduced to the tree). Seven months now of updating kernels and before rebuilding lirc against the new kernels, I have to apply the patch from this bug report:

https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=396653

Can we PLEASE get this into portage?

Please test.
