I am running /usr/portage/scripts/bootstrap.sh on a stage one install though my installtion is probably a bit of a hack becase I was unable to boot with a cdrom, details below # source /etc/profiles # emerge sync // no problems with these commands edit make.conf and set i486 and disable -X -gnome and -kde # cd /usr/portange # scripts/bootstrap.sh it goes great until it gets to ncurses where the process complains: Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. extract base system (stage1) 2. sync emerge 3. configure for 486 and no X gnome or kde 4. execute bootscrap.sh Actual Results: shared libraries for ncurses is enabled during configure as well at static "checking if u want to build shared libraries... yes" error is: configure: error: Shared libraries are not supported in this version !!!

Its an issue we have been having ... for i486 and lower (maybe some cases of i586 as well), gcc3/binutils do not want to create shared libraries. Guys, have you seen something on the lists that relates to this ? I know about this issues, as we could not build stage images for some time now.
Anyone know if this is still an issue, perhaps fixed upstream in later versions of gcc or binutils?
