the ebuild contains this code: /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=compile ${CC} -c ${CFLAGS} -D_GNU_SOURCE ... which needs ${CC} defined. If it is not, it fails w/ a cryptic error -c not valid fro libtool. however the next line is: gcc -s -static ... Is the ${CC} necessary, if then fixed "gcc" is used ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. unsert CC 2. emerge db 3.
Please try db-3.2.9-r2. If on a x86 box, you can do: # ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge db
Is there any reason not to bump -r2 to stable?
No reason I can think of. It fixes a few problems, and *should* have been tested ok.
Hi, why is db-3.2.9-r2 not marked as stable yet?
-r2 is long time stable already.
