Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge libxml Actual Results: Emerge fails Expected Results: Emerge should work! :-P Posted on the forums, was recommended to file a bug report, so here it is. Apparently there's an easy fix...

Thank you, mrpouet. It works! Directions: 1. click on the ebuild link. 2. Select all from your browser, copy to /usr/portage/dev-libs/libxml/libxml-1.8.17-r3.ebuild using your favourite editor. 3. Click on the patch link. 4. Select all from your browser, copy to /usr/portage/dev-libs/libxml/files/open_call_fix.patch 5. cd /usr/portage/dev-libs/libxml 6. ebuild libxml-1.8.17-r3.ebuild digest 7. Emerge libxml

Yeah, I realised right after I left the directions that I should have written them to use an overlay. I second the motion to get a dev to confirm the bug - and maybe get the patched version into portage.

This bug isn't actually resolved or fixed. It is merely a patch. I mistakenly marked it as fixed. If the devs could take a look and implement this in portage, that'd be great.
