I'm currently trying to get mysql 3.23.56 to compile through portage. I get the following error while configure is running for the mysql package: checking if conversion of longlong to float works... no configure: error: Your compiler cannot convert a longlong value to a float! If you are using gcc 2.8.# you should upgrade to egcs 1.0.3 or newer and try again !!! ERROR: dev-db/mysql-3.23.56 failed. !!! Function econf, Line 304, Exitcode 1 !!! econf failed I'm currently compiling the newest gcc 3.2.3-r1 too see if that somehow resolves the problem...

could you please look at the config.log to make sure thats the real problem ? you may have a missing library and the configure bailed out there because of it ...
It appears to be glibc problem. I'm recompiling the newest masked glibc right now. In hind sight I should of recompiled the already existing one first... oh well. I'll post what I find.
the newest glibc seems to of fixed the problem.
sounds good :)
