configure fails on darwin11 due to check for fprintf in libc.dylib with nm. MacPorts Perl has a changeset documenting the issue. https://trac.macports.org/changeset/76831 The fix is to disable the use of nm. I have tried to do this with no success. I am not familiar enough with the perl Configure script to work out what argument I should be passing to it. I tried putting -Dusenm=false after removing -Uusenm. I worked around the issue by making the build provide defaults and ask me the values. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Attempt to emerge perl (or as a dep of findutils) 2. Configure fails Actual Results: Where is your C library?

My prefix is still being created. I have not yet completed it. So emerge --info might not be all that useful and I don't think it is needed due to the fix mentioned above. im@artemis /opt/gentoo $ emerge --info Portage 2.2.01.18213-prefix (prefix/darwin/macos/10.7/x64, gcc-4.2.1, unavailable, 11.0.0 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Darwin-11.0.0-x86_64-i386-64bit Timestamp of tree: Sat, 02 Jul 2011 11:06:28 +0000 distcc 3.1-toolwhip.1 i386-apple-darwin11.0 [disabled] app-shells/bash: 4.2_p10 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.11.1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r00.2 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r01.1 sys-devel/make: 3.82 Repositories: gentoo_prefix Installed sets: ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x64-macos" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA" CBUILD="x86_64-apple-darwin11" CFLAGS="-march=nocona" CHOST="x86_64-apple-darwin11" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="" DISTDIR="/opt/gentoo/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs collision-protect distlocks fixlafiles fixpackages news nostrip parallel-fetch preserve-libs protect-owned sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org" LANG="en_NZ.UTF-8" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-dead_strip_dylibs" MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/opt/gentoo/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/opt/gentoo/" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --stats --timeout=180 --exclude=/distfiles --exclude=/local --exclude=/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/opt/gentoo/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/opt/gentoo/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.prefix.freens.org/gentoo-portage-prefix" USE="aqua coreaudio cracklib cxx mmx mmxext modules ncurses objc objc++ prefix readline sse sse2 ssl x64-macos zlib" APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic authn_alias authn_anon authn_dbm authn_default authn_file authz_dbm authz_default authz_groupfile authz_host authz_owner authz_user autoindex cache cgi cgid dav dav_fs dav_lock deflate dir disk_cache env expires ext_filter file_cache filter headers include info log_config logio mem_cache mime mime_magic negotiation rewrite setenvif speling status unique_id userdir usertrack vhost_alias" CALLIGRA_FEATURES="braindump flow karbon kexi kpresenter krita tables words" CAMERAS="ptp2" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="Darwin" GPSD_PROTOCOLS="ashtech aivdm earthmate evermore fv18 garmin garmintxt gpsclock itrax mtk3301 nmea ntrip navcom oceanserver oldstyle oncore rtcm104v2 rtcm104v3 sirf superstar2 timing tsip tripmate tnt ubx" INPUT_DEVICES="keyboard mouse" KERNEL="Darwin" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" XTABLES_ADDONS="quota2 psd pknock lscan length2 ipv4options ipset ipp2p iface geoip fuzzy condition tee tarpit sysrq steal rawnat logmark ipmark dhcpmac delude chaos account" Unset: CPPFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LC_ALL, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
I cannot reproduce this. Is this on the released OS X Lion? Or on GM or any of the betas?
This should have been on DP4 but might have been the GM. Tomorrow I will rebuild the prefix and see if it still a problem.
The GM of Lion correctly sets up the use of nm. <snip> Shall I use /opt/gentoo/usr/bin/nm to extract C symbols from the libraries? [n] <snip>
