Rebuilding my system with gcc 4.3.0, I ran into this issue rebuilding libtommath 0.36-r1: >>> Starting src_compile make -j4 -f makefile.shared IGNORE_SPEED=1 libtool --mode=compile gcc -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -ggdb -msse3 -I./ -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -c -o bncore.o bncore.c libtool --mode=compile gcc -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -ggdb -msse3 -I./ -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -c -o bn_mp_init.o bn_mp_init.c libtool --mode=compile gcc -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -ggdb -msse3 -I./ -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -c -o bn_mp_clear.o bn_mp_clear.c libtool --mode=compile gcc -march=k8 -O2 -pipe -ggdb -msse3 -I./ -Wall -W -Wshadow -Wsign-compare -c -o bn_mp_exch.o bn_mp_exch.c libtool: compile: unable to infer tagged configuration libtool: compile: specify a tag with `--tag' make: *** [bncore.o] Error 1 Googling, this seems to be libtool unable to figure out what compiler is needed. See this mailing list message for an example: http://www.mail-archive.com/libtool@gnu.org/msg08036.html Since this worked last time I rebuilt, and I was using libtool 1.5.26 back then, I assume this is part of the libtool 2.2.4 breakage.

Created attachment 155299 [details] build log for libtommath-0.36-r1
I consider this bug invalid, simply due to over a year old bug 162161. libtommath reached 0.41 since then. I'll see if that one is affected, if it is I'll try to make a patch for it.
(In reply to comment #3) > I consider this bug invalid, simply due to over a year old bug 162161. It would only be invalid if that version were in the tree, instead of waiting for a maintainer to adopt the package. From the last comment on that bug, it looks like the newer package has the same issue. I'll give it a try tonight.
Well, 0.41 it's not affected by this bug.
Of course, I'm using my own patch from bug 162161.
I just put 0.41 in the tree. I'll assume that your issue is fixed with the later package. Please re-open if there is a problem.
