After upgrading to GCC 3.3.2-r5 l2tpd fails to compile with the following error message: network.c:367:37: missing terminating " character network.c: In function `network_thread': network.c:368: error: syntax error before "tunnel" network.c:368: error: stray '\' in program network.c:368:25: missing terminating " character In file included from l2tp.h:28, from call.c:27: misc.h:67: warning: conflicting types for built-in function `log' call.c:196:20: missing terminating " character call.c: In function `read_packet': call.c:197: error: syntax error before "enter" make: *** [call.o] Error 1 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... make: *** [network.o] Error 1 !!! ERROR: net-dialup/l2tpd-0.69 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 34, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) The first thing I tried was emptying my CFLAGS...since I had moderately optimized CFLAGS. This did not help. Just for giggles I grabbed the non-gentoo source package and tried to compile it myself. It too failed to compile. This same package compiled just hours before. I was able to fix the errors in the source. GCC seemed to fail on lines with strings that spanned multiple lines. I've never seen this. It was/is perfectly valid code. I hope this helps, this is my first Gentoo bug report so go easy on me. Thanks.

I'm sorry I forgot a couple of important things. 1). This problem was encountered with 'emerge -a l2tpd' (which tried to install net-dialup/l2tpd-0.69). 2). The non-gentoo version of this package does not use any of the GNU Auto* tools (just 'make' no more no less). I'm assuming the Gentoo blessed version does not as well. Could this have anything to do with it?
Created attachment 25428 [details, diff] l2tpd-0.69-gcc3.patch This patch should fix it.
I see though -r1 uses a different tarball that fixes this. Dunno if you want to apply this for now until you want -r1 in stable, or just go for -r1 if its been tested enough?
i did both, added your nice patch to 0.69 and marked -r1 stable, it has been in portage for more than 2 month and no bugreport :)
That worked great for me. Thank you. I'll look at the patch to see what you guys did.
