This is on a DEC AlphaServer 5305 (2x 533Mhz EV56), using gcc 3.2.2. Compilation of util-linux fails on fsck.cramfs.o at this point: gcc -s -o fsck.cramfs fsck.cramfs.o -lz /usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/3.2.2/../../../libz.so: undefined reference to `_OtsMove' /usr/lib/gcc-lib/alpha-unknown-linux-gnu/3.2.2/../../../libz.so: undefined reference to `_OtsZero' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [fsck.cramfs] Error 1 I'm not terribly familiar with libots, AFAIK the solution is to add '-lots' to the command. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Running on alpha architecture with libots installed 2.

I'll experiment and see if i can get some sort of is-ccc && otsify libz.a in there without messing up the dependencies.
Using X86: 1) util-linux-2.11z-01-nfsv4.dif is redundant as nfsv4 support is already present in 2.12. Note: no error reported during build unless performing 3) below. 2) rpm build fails with !!! ERROR: sys-apps/util-linux-2.12-r3 failed. !!! Function dyn_rpm, Line 873, Exitcode 1 !!! Failed to integrate rpm spec file 3) For crypto, propose to replace currently used util-linux-2.12-cryptoapi-losetup.patch.bz2 by util-linux-2.12.diff ex http://loop-aes.sourceforge.net/loop-AES/loop-AES-v2.0d.tar.bz2 merrits: Full functionality for mount, losetup and a nice manual update. Please have a look at this patch.
Michael Frank, the issues you reported have nothing to do with this bug, which is why they haven't been noticed. Please open a new bug with the issues you found.
I'd say the problem in this case is that libz uses libots but wasn't linked with this library. This is/was a problem in libz but not in util-linux.
yeah, old issue
