I'm trying to do an emerge -uD world and gawk fails. It gets to "creating Makefile" then shows several errors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -uD gawk Actual Results: sed: file conftest.s1 line4: Unterminated 's' command sed: couldn't write 66 items to stdout: Broken pipe creating awklib/Makefile sed: file conftest.s1 line4: Unterminated 's' command sed: couldn't write 47 items to stdout: Broken pipe creating doc/Makefile sed: file conftest.s1 line4: Unterminated 's' command sed: couldn't write 51 items to stdout: Broken pipe creating intl/Makefile sed: file conftest.s1 line4: Unterminated 's' command sed: couldn't write 11 items to stdout: Broken pipe creating po/Makefile sed: file conftest.s1 line4: Unterminated 's' command sed: couldn't write 10 items to stdout: Broken pipe creating test/Makefile sed: file conftest.s1 line4: Unterminated 's' command sed: couldn't write 1 item to stdout: Broken pipe creating config.h creating po/POTFILES creating po/Makefile make: *** No Targets.

please provide emerge info
I found the same problem on a second PC, also doing an 'emerge -uD world' on it. Shown is the last lines from the emerge and the output from emerge info.

This is not a bug. After fighting with it for awhile, poring over my system, and various other things inciting streams of obscenities, I discovered my make.conf had been opened, edited and saved in nano without using -w, so both my USE flags and my GCC flags were sprawled over several lines. Once I opened the file with 'nano -w' and fixed it, I was immediately able to resume compiling software.
user said it isn't a bug :-D
