Created attachment 115841 [details, diff] difference between original ebuild and my one
I think we should be patching libiconv instead as m4 is required by our system profile whereas libiconv is optional. Or we add charset.alias by some other means and stop any ebuild from installing it.
Patching it's not worth it, send it upstream if you want, but it's not really worth bothering by patching it in gentoo. Just remove charset.alias as many other ebuilds do already (use rm -f so that it doesn't fail and is a no-op on linux). IIRC dev-libs/glib is an example for that.
you certainly dont want to patch build systems here ... that stuff is autogenerated from gettext autotool inputs in other packages we've simply been doing `rm -f .../charset.alias` in src_install this makes me le tired so chatting with Flameeyes we propose moving all this cruft to bashrc in the profile for src_install: [[ "$CATEGORY/$PN" == "dev-libs/libiconv" ]] || rm -f .../charset.alias
Fair enough, fixed in 1.4.9 anyway until the bashrc foo is done (which I don't know how to do)
