Hi, I have fit this problem in the bug #278541 (see premake-script-archless.patch) We already have the "archless" patch for the premake itself. There are "${ARCH}" variables in the premake-4.3/src/actions/make/make_cpp.lua which generates makefiles similar to premake's one which I believe need to addressed. This can be fixed by either patching that make_cpp.lua file and regenerating scripts ("./bin/release/premake4 embed") or by patching "premake-4.3/src/host/scripts.c" file directly (probably easier way). emerge --info Portage 2.1.10.41 (hardened/linux/amd64, gcc-4.5.3, glibc-2.13-r4, 3.0.4-hardened-r4 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: Linux-3.0.4-hardened-r4-x86_64-Intel-R-_Core-TM-_i5_CPU_M_520_@_2.40GHz-with-gentoo-2.0.3 Timestamp of tree: Fri, 23 Dec 2011 09:30:01 +0000 app-shells/bash: 4.1_p9 dev-java/java-config: 2.1.11-r3 dev-lang/python: 2.7.2-r3, 3.1.4-r3 dev-util/cmake: 2.8.6-r4 dev-util/pkgconfig: 0.26 sys-apps/baselayout: 2.0.3 sys-apps/openrc: 0.9.4-r1::pentoo sys-apps/sandbox: 2.5 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.68 sys-devel/automake: 1.9.6-r3, 1.11.1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.21.1-r1 sys-devel/gcc: 4.5.3-r1 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.4.1-r1 sys-devel/libtool: 2.4-r1 sys-devel/make: 3.82-r1 sys-kernel/linux-headers: 2.6.39 (virtual/os-headers) sys-libs/glibc: 2.13-r4 Repositories: gentoo ikelos seden vmware local-overlay pentoo ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" ACCEPT_LICENSE="* -@EULA PUEL AdobeFlash-10.1 google-talkplugin dlj-1.1 google-chrome Oracle-BCLA-JavaSE" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/share/gnupg/qualified.txt /usr/share/maven-bin-2.2/conf /var/bind" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/ca-certificates.conf /etc/dconf /etc/env.d /etc/env.d/java/ /etc/fonts/fonts.conf /etc/gconf /etc/gentoo-release /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/sandbox.d /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=core2 -mtune=generic -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="assume-digests binpkg-logs distlocks ebuild-locks fixlafiles news parallel-fetch protect-owned sandbox sfperms strict unknown-features-warn unmerge-logs unmerge-orphans userfetch" FFLAGS="" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://ftp.jaist.ac.jp/pub/Linux/Gentoo/" INSTALL_MASK="*.la" LANG="C" LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1 -Wl,--as-needed" LINGUAS="en ru" MAKEOPTS="-j5" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_CONFIGROOT="/" 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="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/var/lib/layman/ikelos /var/lib/layman/seden /var/lib/layman/vmware /usr/local/portage /pentoo" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="X acl alsa amd64 avahi bash-completion berkdb branding bzip2 cli consolekit cracklib crypt cups cxx dbus dri exif flac fuse gdbm gnome gnome-keyring gphoto2 gstreamer gtk hardened iconv java jpeg justify libnotify mmx modules mp3 mudflap multilib ncurses networkmanager nls nptl nptlonly opengl openmp oss pam pax_kernel pcre policykit pppd qt3support qt4 readline samba sdl session spell sse sse2 ssl sysfs syslog tcpd udev unicode urandom vaapi x264 xorg zlib" ALSA_CARDS="ali5451 als4000 atiixp atiixp-modem bt87x ca0106 cmipci emu10k1x ens1370 ens1371 es1938 es1968 fm801 hda-intel intel8x0 intel8x0m maestro3 trident usb-audio via82xx via82xx-modem ymfpci" ALSA_PCM_PLUGINS="adpcm alaw asym copy dmix dshare dsnoop empty extplug file hooks iec958 ioplug ladspa lfloat linear meter mmap_emul mulaw multi null plug rate route share shm softvol" 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="kexi words flow plan stage tables krita karbon braindump" CAMERAS="ptp2 canon" COLLECTD_PLUGINS="df interface irq load memory rrdtool swap syslog" ELIBC="glibc" 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="evdev keyboard mouse synaptics" KERNEL="linux" LCD_DEVICES="bayrad cfontz cfontz633 glk hd44780 lb216 lcdm001 mtxorb ncurses text" LINGUAS="en ru" PHP_TARGETS="php5-3" RUBY_TARGETS="ruby18" USERLAND="GNU" VIDEO_CARDS="fbdev vesa intel" 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, LC_ALL, PORTAGE_BUNZIP2_COMMAND, PORTAGE_COMPRESS, PORTAGE_COMPRESS_FLAGS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
What you're asking for is a departure from upstream behaviour. I won't make that change. You can go to upstream and pitch dropping ARCH there.
