While building a rootfs for an IXP425 (armeb-softfloat-linux-uclibc), I attempted to add net-misc/bridge-utils-1.2. It failed horribly (emerge still thought it was okay and 'installed' nothing). The crux of the issue was: ### Begin Error Msg ### configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating doc/Makefile config.status: WARNING: doc/Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting config.status: creating libbridge/Makefile config.status: creating brctl/Makefile config.status: WARNING: brctl/Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting config.status: creating Makefile config.status: WARNING: Makefile.in seems to ignore the --datarootdir setting config.status: creating bridge-utils.spec config.status: creating libbridge/config.h for x in libbridge brctl doc; do make - --jobserver-fds=3,4 -j -C $x ; done make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/bridge-utils-1.2/work/bridge-utils-1.2/libbridge' armeb-softfloat-linux-uclibc-gcc -Wall -g -I/usr/include -c libbridge_devif.c armeb-softfloat-linux-uclibc-gcc -Wall -g -I/usr/include -c libbridge_if.c ### End Error Msg ### Followed by several thousand lines of error messages. The attached patch fixes the issue, but I'm not sure if it is the proper solution...

Created attachment 132497 [details, diff] patch to allow bridge-utils to cross-compile successfully
Created attachment 132498 [details, diff] patch to net-misc/bridge-utils-1.2.ebuild to use the datarootdir patch when building
I've done somewhat the same at bug#204744... robbat2: Why don't you close/comment these bugs? There is no reason keeping them open.
1.4 is in the tree now and should work on cross-compile setups.
