At the compile phase of the ermerging, while configuring the sources, the script config.guess didn't know about the architecture I was running on because the version of the script was too old. The script config.guess from /usr/share/automake-1.7 was working correctly and output the following : powerpc64-unknown-linux-unknown So I copied it over the one in /var/tmp/portage/findutils... and did an ebuild compile instead of an emerge, but findutils would also complained about an unknown architecture. I finally hacked the script for it to output this instead (removed the 64) : powerpc-unknown-linux-unknown And it worked perfectly... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start with the stage 1 file stage1-ppc-1.4_final.tbz2 2. Execute bootstrap.sh 3. Do an emerge system and it will eventualy stop on findutils
this bug still valid with 4.1.20-r1 ?
Version 4.1.20-r1 now compiles correctly, thank you.
