I can't imagine how this could be specific to alpha. Implicitly converted pointers should be reported on any other architecture. Please test on amd64 or something.

[Comment 2 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) 2010-10-02 16:16:37 UTC]

It can be on alpha because of different include files being brought in; fwiw I can't see this on any of my amd64 systems so there is something Alpha-specific in here.

[Comment 3 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis (RETIRED) 2010-10-02 16:19:54 UTC]

Please attach full build log.
What version of dev-libs/libgcrypt do you use? Also please reinstall dev-libs/libgcrypt and check if this bug still occurs.

[Comment 4 Tobias Klausmann (RETIRED) 2010-10-02 17:09:17 UTC]

I suspected my stable chroot being SNAFU'd, so while I tried recompiling libcrypt in said chroot, I created a new, clean one from today's snapshot. 

Recompiling libgcrypt did not help, but the compile in the clean chroot completed without errors. Hence, I will be abandoning the failed chroot and use the new one.

Closing.
