None of emerge > @preserved-rebuild, revdep-rebuild, or perl-cleaner --all try to rebuild > anything. Same here. Downgrading to sys-libs/readline-6.1_p2 fixed it. Apparently the new readline 6.2 internally doesn't use xmalloc any more. I guess, dev-perl/Term-ReadLine-Gnu needs to be updated and the existing version hardwired to readline 6.1. I compared the symbols with "nm" from the /usr/lib64/libreadline.a static libs from both readline versions. 6.1 nm /usr/lib64/libreadline.a: xmalloc.o: U __fprintf_chk U exit U free U malloc 0000000000000000 t memory_error_and_abort U realloc U stderr 00000000000000b0 T xfree 0000000000000030 T xmalloc 0000000000000060 T xrealloc 6.2 nm /usr/lib64/libreadline.a: xmalloc.o: U __fprintf_chk 0000000000000030 T _rl_malloc 0000000000000060 T _rl_realloc U exit U malloc 0000000000000000 t memory_error_and_abort U realloc U stderr

As a temporary fix, assuming nothing you use *directly* uses ReadLine::Gnu, you can force a removal of ReadLine::Gnu and allow the ReadLine::Perl module do to the job instead. Not an ideal fix perhaps, but for some it may be a better solution than downgrading readline. ( Works For Me with Dist::Zilla )
I think we need to CC the readline people on this, its possibly their fault in the build process. I discovered that If I build readline myself ( instead of using Gentoo's build of it ), this is what libreadline.a has in it instead: Gentoo's xmalloc.o: U __fprintf_chk 0000000000000030 T _rl_malloc 0000000000000060 T _rl_realloc U exit U malloc 0000000000000000 t memory_error_and_abort U realloc U stderr Stock xmalloc.o xmalloc.o: U __fprintf_chk U exit U malloc 0000000000000000 t memory_error_and_abort U realloc U stderr 000000000000002c T xmalloc 000000000000004e T xrealloc
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-readline/2010-07/msg00013.html append-cppflags -Dxrealloc=_rl_realloc -Dxmalloc=_rl_malloc -Dxfree=_rl_free xmalloc is being renamed to _rl_malloc Not sure how to override this in the ebuild for perl yet =).
src_prepare() { perl-module_src_prep; einfo "Hacking CPPFlags into makefile"; sed -i 's/^SO = so/PASTHRU_DEFINE = -Dxrealloc=_rl_realloc -Dxmalloc=_rl_malloc -Dxfree=_rl_free\nSO = so/' "${S}/Makefile" \ || die "Cant hack the makefile :(" } ^ this *brutal* hack misuses the MakeFile somewhat, *but it works*. \o/
src_compile() { perl_set_version has src_configure ${PERL_EXPF} || perl-module_src_prep if [[ $(declare -p mymake 2>&-) != "declare -a mymake="* ]]; then local mymake_local=(${mymake}) else local mymake_local=("${mymake[@]}") fi set -- \ PASTHRU_DEFINE="-Dxrealloc=_rl_realloc -Dxmalloc=_rl_malloc -Dxfree=_rl_free" \ OTHERLDFLAGS="${LDFLAGS}" \ "${mymake_local[@]}" einfo "emake" "$@" emake "$@" \ || die "Compilation failed" } Slightly better, works also. Not 100% happy with it yet though.
The same as adding the following in the build: mymake=( PASTHRU_DEFINE="-Dxrealloc=_rl_realloc -Dxmalloc=_rl_malloc -Dxfree=_rl_free" )
*** Bug 356273 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
@base-system: To make dev-perl/Term-ReadLine-Gnu work with >=sys-libs/readline-6.2 we have to add something like the following to the ebuild > mymake=( PASTHRU_DEFINE="-Dxrealloc=_rl_realloc -Dxmalloc=_rl_malloc -Dxfree=_rl_free" ) I guess we have to R/DEPEND explicitly on >=sys-libs/readline-6.2 ?
hard RDEPEND will probably be the sanest for people to work with
Thanks. 1.200.0-r1 works with >=sys-libs/readline-6.2
