I'm emerging in an ARM machine, and I noticed that emerging some package fails during configure, if I'm in sandbox enviorment. The error reported is: configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile config.status: creating defines.h awk: ./confHEgQBy/defines.awk:68: fatal error: internal error ./config.status: line 984: 17753 Aborted $AWK -f "$tmp/defines.awk" 'defines.h.in' config.status: error: could not create defines.h This happens emerging lighttpd, less, hddtemp and sandbox itself, but I think that this happens in many other packages (packages that use gawk during configure, I think). I searched in logs and the only thing I found is in config.log: config.status:774: creating Makefile config.status:774: creating defines.h config.status:986: error: could not create defines.h I found that it was sandbox because I tried to configure manually the packages, and it works fine, and to configure manually in sandbox environment, and it fails. I already tried to re-emerge sandbox and gawk but nothing changes.
