While trying to emerge glib-2.16.3-r1, it fails with what appears to be a syntax error while libtool is executing /usr/bin/nm. I tried simply masking this version, but then my "emerge -uDNav world" fails with a similar problem on media-libs/gstreamer-0.10.20 and it's leading me to believe that I may have other problems. Reproducible: Always The command with the syntax error, along with the backtrace that follows it: ../libtool: eval: line 4344: `/usr/bin/nm -B .libs/garray.o .libs/gasyncqueue.o .libs/gatomic.o .libs/gbacktrace.o .libs/gbase64.o .libs/gbookmarkfile.o .libs/gcache.o .libs/gchecksum.o .libs/gcompletion.o .libs/gconvert.o .libs/gdataset.o .libs/gdate.o .libs/gdir.o .libs/gerror.o .libs/gfileutils.o .libs/ghash.o .libs/ghook.o .libs/giochannel.o .libs/gkeyfile.o .libs/glist.o .libs/gmain.o .libs/gmappedfile.o .libs/gmarkup.o .libs/gmem.o .libs/gmessages.o .libs/gnode.o .libs/goption.o .libs/gpattern.o .libs/gprimes.o .libs/gqsort.o .libs/gqueue.o .libs/grel.o .libs/grand.o .libs/gregex.o .libs/gscanner.o .libs/gsequence.o .libs/gshell.o .libs/gslice.o .libs/gslist.o .libs/gstdio.o .libs/gstrfuncs.o .libs/gstring.o .libs/gtestutils.o .libs/gthread.o .libs/gthreadpool.o .libs/gtimer.o .libs/gtree.o .libs/guniprop.o .libs/gutf8.o .libs/gunibreak.o .libs/gunicollate.o .libs/gunidecomp.o .libs/gurifuncs.o .libs/gutils.o .libs/gprintf.o .libs/giounix.o .libs/gspawn.o libcharset/.libs/libcharset.a pcre/.libs/libpcre.a | | /bin/sed 's/.* //' | sort | uniq > .libs/libglib-2.0.exp' make[4]: *** [libglib-2.0.la] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.16.3-r1/work/glib-2.16.3/glib' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.16.3-r1/work/glib-2.16.3/glib' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.16.3-r1/work/glib-2.16.3/glib' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/glib-2.16.3-r1/work/glib-2.16.3' make: *** [all] Error 2 * * ERROR: dev-libs/glib-2.16.3-r1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 2729: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * emake || die "make failed" * The die message: * make failed Note the "| |" near the end of the command.

Yes, it appears that "sed -n -e 's/^.*[ ]\([ABCDGIRSTW][ABCDGIRSTW]*\)[ ][ ]*\([_A-Za-z][_A-Za-z0-9]*\)$/\1 \2 \2/p'" is missing. :)
try with saner CFLAGS

And where can I fix it? (In reply to comment #2) > try with saner CFLAGS > Are my CFLAGS really that bad? I've been using them for well over a year with no issue, and I don't see why they would cause a syntax error in a command. It seems to me to be a problem with the Makefile that is created during the configure step (or something similar).
I have simple CFLAGS and get the same error. CFLAGS="-O2 -pipe -march=nocona" I thought it was libtool related, but then I stumbled on bug 196243. I can confirm that building with: FEATURES="-ccache" emerge -av1 glib was successful. Please try that workaround, and devs - please add as a depends or dup of bug 196243.

Unfortunately that does not work for me. I tried it both with the CFLAGS mentioned above and with CFLAGS="". Both result in the error.
Please provide a full build.log as suggested by portage. Thanks
