Description James Cloos 2003-09-19 19:27:08 UTC

pari has assembly kernels for several architectures, as well as a reference C
kernel for other archs.  If you just run ./Configure it chooses its ix86 kernel,
but the ebuild passes --host=${CHOST} to Configure, and for the standard CHOST
of i686-pc-linux-gnu that fails to choose the ix86 kernel.

If the ebuild will continue to specify --host (rather than letting Configure get
it from uname(1)), it should munge CHOST to just arch-os, eg i686-linux.

Perhaps something like:

--host=${CHOST/%-*/}-linux

or just let it get it from uname(1).

Thanks for the hint. Fixed in -r1.
Decided to use --host="$(echo ${CHOST} | cut -f "1 3" -d '-')"
