Created attachment 140243 [details] config.log
why is your libelf.h including linux/sys.h ? mine isnt: $ grep '#include' /usr/include/libelf.h #include <sys/types.h> #include <elf.h>
Created attachment 140245 [details] config.log crap, wrong log. sorry.
off64_t only shows up when building with -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE ... wtf thought that was a good idea
add this to the top of your libelf.h: #if !defined(_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE) && !defined(__off64_t_defined) # define _LARGEFILE64_SOURCE #endif and make sure things work
nope, sorry. still getting the same error.
do `sed -i 's:off64_t:__off64_t:'` on libelf.h ... that lets me build prelink
I wonder how this was ever supposed to work on redhat.. I'd vote for doing the sed in a -r1 ebuild.
*** Bug 204208 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
yep, this works. there's another, separate, problem with inlining and -std=gnu99 but it can be fixed anytime.
they may not have rebuilt prelink against newer libelf yet and thus didnt notice 0.131-r1 in the tree using __off64_t
