I think the real error is somewhere up, could you check and see if you have an Error *** somewhere up?
Created attachment 320858 [details] emerge binutils output Not sure what to look for... Perhaps you can help with that?
configure: error: zlib (libz) library was explicitly requested but not found yes checking whether snprintf is declared... make[1]: *** [configure-gas] Error 1 make[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... zlib issue
zlib is installed in $EPREFIX/tmp as part of the bootstrap process. I now even tried to "emerge --oneshot sys-libs/zlib" and after that "emerge --oneshot --nodeps sys-devel/binutils". Still same issue.
What host OS was this? I cannot reproduce on 3 different distros.
CentOS 6 on x86_64 and CentOS 5 on x86. Both of them running in a openvz container.
installing zlib-devel on the host OS fixes the problem... But then it is another problem.. shouldn't gentoo-prefix applications rely on what's under the prefix and not the host OS libraries and binaries?
yes, so I'm unhappy you did so, because it means for some reason the zlib that was installed during the bootstrap is not found
if it works for you now, I'm happy
