Bug 359083 – dev-lang/python-3.1.3-r1: Wrong assumptions in configure for crosscompilation

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Raffaello D. Di Napoli 2011-03-15 20:07:28 UTC]

I was having problems with dev-lang/python-3.1.3-r1 because of two tests in the configure script that cannot be performed when cross-compiling, with a default assumption that causes it to abort.

One is a check for some bug in getaddrinfo(), which is only performed in case of USE=ipv6; the other is a check for a broken sem_getvalue().

I prepared a small patch for configure.in, which makes both assumptions for the best rather than for the worst.

Reproducible: Always
