Attach full build log.
(In reply to comment #2) > Attach full build log. > Do not have it any more. I hacked a bit in the toolchain-funcs.eclass and modified the gen_usr_ldscript() function to ignore the -a (auto) parameter. This caused the readline to install properly. The problem was probably a very old stage4 distribution (cca. 2007). It simply could not be easily updated (wasted an entire day on it, too much to update, too many dependencies). I scraped the entire system and installed a fresh stage3.
