When attempting to emerge sys-apps/attr on an ~x86 platform, I encountered the following compile error: ---------- Begin log ------------ === getfattr === gmake[1]: warning: jobserver unavailable: using -j1.

A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/attr-2.4.38/temp/build.log' ---------- End log ------------ The affected file was attr-2.4.38/getfattr/getfattr.c . The 'struct FTW' that it wants is defined in /usr/include/ftw.h, but it is protected by #ifdef guards. I changed line 31 in getfattr.c from #include <ftw.h> to #define _USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED 1 #include <ftw.h> #undef _USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED The undef probably isn't necessary. Following this change, I used ebuild to complete the compilation and installation process - it all seemed to work fine. The man page for ftw indicates that the required #define is _XOPEN_SOURCE 500. However, when I tried this, it didn't help - hence why I had to dig through ftw.h Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: emerge sys-apps/attr-2.4.38 on ax ~x86 platform.

__USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED should not be defined by anything other than glibc itself. attr is supposed to be compiling with -D_GNU_SOURCE (which will cause __USE_XOPEN_EXTENDED to become defined), but according to the compilation command you included that's not happening. That's the problem that needs to be fixed. Could you please attach your full build log?
Created attachment 124231 [details] Full build log, as requested
Thank you. Unfortunately, I see nothing strange in your build log before the compilation commands. In fact, using your compiler options, I get identical output. The relevant block from include/builddefs.in is ifneq "$(findstring $(PKG_PLATFORM), linux gnu gnu/kfreebsd gnu/knetbsd)" "" PCFLAGS = -D_GNU_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 endif Is PKG_PLATFORM defined appropriately for your system, in the generated include/builddefs file? Do you perhaps have an environment variable PLATFORM set, which would override the autodetection in the attr configure script?
Ah, yes. I had PLATFORM set to i386-unknown-linux2.4 for some other work I'm doing. If I unset that, everything works fine. Thanks for your help. I'll leave this bug open in case you want to do something else with it, but as far as I'm concerned you can close it.
I'm not sure what the best thing to do here is either, so I'll leave it open for someone else, too.
we'd be unsetting this before because of profile pollution, but with that fixed, the unset was dropped attr isnt the only thing affected ... all of the SGI packages are (acl/attr/xfsprogs/etc...)
fixed in attr-2.4.39
