Changes of Jun 8 to /sys-libs/files/eblits/src_unpack.eblit mean that the var LIB_IDNVER must be set in the glibc ebuild in order for libidn to be unpacked (here's a diff excerpt): $ diff ~/glibc/files/eblits/src_unpack.eblit src_unpack.eblit 3c3 < # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/eblits/src_unpack.eblit,v 1.4 2007/11/11 20:12:38 vapier Exp $ --- > # $Header: /var/cvsroot/gentoo-x86/sys-libs/glibc/files/eblits/src_unpack.eblit,v 1.5 2008/06/08 00:49:09 vapier Exp $ : 60,62c63,65 < [[ -n ${LT_VER} ]] && unpack glibc-linuxthreads-${LT_VER}.tar.bz2 < [[ -n ${PORTS_VER} ]] && unpack_addon ports ${PORTS_VER} < unpack_addon libidn --- > [[ -n ${LT_VER} ]] && unpack_pkg linuxthreads ${LT_VER} > [[ -n ${PORTS_VER} ]] && unpack_pkg ports ${PORTS_VER} > [[ -n ${LIBIDN_VER} ]] && unpack_pkg libidn : Unfortunately, the corresponding change to glib-2.6.1 is missing, meaning that glibc gets build without the libidn addon. Without the libidn addon, applications that use internationalised domain names fail. For example: $ traceroute www.google.com.au www.google.com.au: Bad value for ai_flags Cannot handle "host" cmdline arg `www.google.com.au' on position 1 (argc 1) Here's a patch to fix the problem: $diff -N /usr/portage/sys-libs/glibc/glibc-2.6.1.ebuild glibc-2.6.1.ebuild 23a24 > LIBIDN_VER="2.6.1" # version of libidn addon I've marked this critical as it's the stable glibc that's affected. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Emerge glibc stable 2.6.1 2.Notice in emerge output that glibc-libidn-2.6.1.tar.bz2 isn't unpacked 3.Notice that libcidn.so isn't built as part of glibc 4.traceroute fails with "bad ai_flags" I'm not sure how glibc gets tested, but it would be good to have something in the test suite that picks up missing add-ons... it's an easy sort of mistake to make.
Correction, patch should probably read: LIBIDN_VER=${RELEASE_VER} # version of libidn addon

I've reemerged glibc-2.7-r2 again, and idn support still isn't compiled in... I've saved the output of the emerge and searched for `idn`, and there are only 2 lines containing the string: * glibc-libidn-2.7.tar.bz2 RMD160 SHA1 SHA256 size ;-) ... [ ok ] * checking glibc-libidn-2.7.tar.bz2 ;-) ... [ ok ]
