Description Ciaran McCreesh 2003-08-14 18:36:15 UTC 
emerge -u system fails on sys-apps/shadow-4.0.3-r6. I currently have -r3
installed, but am unable to upgrade to either -r6 or -r7. A large number of
messages along the lines of "gshadow.c:1895: stray '\377' in program" are given
before the compile dies. I'll attach a typescript which shows all the errors.

The system is an 85MHz SparcStation 5.

gcc --version:
gcc (GCC) 3.2.3 20030422 (Gentoo Linux 1.4 3.2.3-r1, propolice)

patch --version:
patch 2.5.9

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:





Output of emerge info:

typescript of emerge shadow (-r7)

This is the typescript session for -r7. Similar messages occur for -r6.
Comment 2 Ciaran McCreesh 2003-08-17 00:35:46 UTC 
I've played around a bit more, and it looks like the culprit here is ccache. I can emerge successfully with FEATURES="-ccache", but turning it on breaks the compile (even if I clear the cache beforehand). I have ccache_2.2.  Don't know if there's some way to force -ccache from within the ebuild?
Comment 3 Todd Sunderlin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2003-09-06 13:59:44 UTC 
Closing, fixed in a later version of ccache.  If there is still a problem, reopen this bug.
