neon (which is required for subversion, which is required to update prefix portage) doesn't appear to be prefix-aware, as it seems to call '/bin/sh' assuming that this will be bash-compatible: >>> Install neon-0.28.1 into /usr/opt/portage/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/neon-0.28.1/image/opt/portage/ category net-misc make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/opt/portage/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/neon-0.28.1/work/neon-0.28.1/src' make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/opt/portage/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/neon-0.28.1/work/neon-0.28.1/src' /opt/portage/usr/bin/install -c -d /usr/opt/portage/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/neon-0.28.1/image//opt/portage/usr/lib /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=install /opt/portage/usr/bin/install -c src/libneon.la \ /usr/opt/portage/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/neon-0.28.1/image//opt/portage/usr/lib/libneon.la /opt/portage/usr/bin/install -c src/.libs/libneon.so.28.1 /usr/opt/portage/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/neon-0.28.1/image//opt/portage/usr/lib/libneon.so.28.1 (cd /usr/opt/portage/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/neon-0.28.1/image//opt/portage/usr/lib && { ln -s -f libneon.so.28.1 libneon.so.28 || { rm -f libneon.so.28 && ln -s libneon.so.28.1 libneon.so.28;

(I'm not sure if 'SHELL' also needs to be specified - 'CONFIG_SHELL' may be sufficient)
I think IRIX will need CONFIG_SHELL to be set in the profile, like was the plan (is the case?) for AIX
agree with jakub ;)
does setting CONFIG_SHELL help? If so, I'll add it to the profiles.
Yes - setting CONFIG_SHELL fixes all these problems :)
I added it to the IRIX profile. Please report back if this works out of the box. If so, we may have to consider doing this for all profiles.
Actually, you already said it works, so let's close this bug. Please reopen if it doesn't.
