I know am-utils is masked for x86, but this should be relatively easy to patch.
(In reply to comment #0) > Several other resource I found say UTS_RELEASE is deprecated in linux/version.h > and is now in linux/utsrelease.h. Only since kernel 2.6.18 :P I wonder if there's anyone else using this package of whether it's essentially useless these days.
I'm using it on amd64. Apparently I must have built it when I had old enough linux headers on my machine, but now, with 2.6.22, 6.1.3 won't build because of this, and 6.1.4 won't either. As far as I can see, this was fixed by Erez in October 2006 (http://www.am-utils.org/docs/am-utils/ChangeLog.txt, search for UTS_RELEASE). There are probably more of us who have it installed with older include files but who will eventually run into problems if this bug doesn't get fixed.
Created attachment 132985 [details] A patch version ebuild Add patch of UTS_RELEASE and ./bootstrap
Created attachment 132986 [details, diff] am-utils-6.1.3-UTS_RELEASE.patch Fix the problem due to missing UTS_RELEASE since 2.6.18
Fixed with my net-fs/am-utils-6.1.5 commit, please test and reopen if it does not work.

I was unable to resolve the error by echoing utsrelease.h to verison.h and rebuilding, but I believe it's the same issue because I see the following when I run configure manually: # cd /var/tmp/portage/net-fs/am-utils-6.1.5/work/am-utils-6.1.5 # ./configure ... checking "host headers version"... configure: error: cannot find UTS_RELEASE in <linux/version.h>. This Linux system may be misconfigured or unconfigured! I have a different system running am-utils 6.1.5 and kernel 2.6.26, however am-utils was built a while back (prior to 2.6.26, but some time after this bug report). I'm not seeing any patches to my ebuild, so perhaps the patch worked in the past and is failing now. There may be another issue which just happen to be returning this error.

I was able to build am-utils on 2.6.26 by downgrading to autoconf 2.61-r2 and libtool 1.5.26. It's just coincidence that the configure which is generated by autoconf-2.63 has the version.h/utsrelease.h bug.
