Emerging sys-fs/e2fsprogs-1.41.12 with a cross-toolchain for ppc on i686 fails, due to several typedefs being redefined. I found this upstream: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=2976725&group_id=2406&atid=202406 but they don’t seem to care that much. I also found this, much more useful, https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8111 where is a patch that does solve the problem, simply by inverting the inclusion order of two ext2fs-related headers.

Created attachment 265685 [details] Failed build log
Created attachment 265693 [details, diff] Patch from https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8111 This solves the problem by swapping the order of inclusion of two headers, as I wrote above.
Created attachment 265695 [details, diff] Patch for the ebuild to use the above patch
this is already fixed in e2fsprogs-1.14.14
