/home/jolexa/portage/hppa-11.31/usr/hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.31/bin/as: unrecognized option `--noexecstack' can you try yanking out the entire noexecstack bit from the ebuild to see if that makes a difference?
and what does `as -v < /dev/null` report?
(In reply to comment #3) > and what does `as -v < /dev/null` report? > %% as -v < /dev/null GNU assembler version 2.19.1 (hppa2.0n-hp-hpux11.31) using BFD version (GNU Binutils) 2.19.1 I'll try the other suggestion too.
python-2.6.4: 89 case $($(tc-getAS) -v 2>&1 </dev/null) in 90 *"GNU Binutils"*) # GNU ld 91 : 92 ;; 93 *) 94 EPATCH_EXCLUDE=07_all_ctypes_execstack.patch 95 ;; 96 esac 97 EPATCH_SUFFIX="patch" epatch "${WORKDIR}/${PV}" But, something is wrong here because if I unconditionally do line 94 the build succeeds.
Makes sense to me, as I assumed that all GNU as would accept the same arguments, but apparently it doesn't, so I guess we'll have to try if the argument really works. Does as -v --noexecstack bail out by chance?
fixed by checking if --noexecstack is a supported argument
