Bug 43283 – gcc emerge fails with USE="java multilib"

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Oliver Jeeves 2004-02-29 06:05:13 UTC]

after enabling the multilib, emerging gcc fails unless I USE="-java"

unfortunatly I don't have a copy of the actual error to hand (sorry), but at the line;
checking /proc/self/exe...

it complains about not being able to do this when cross compiling.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. add both java and multilib to use flags
2. emerge gcc



Expected Results:  
emerge should have completed sucessfully. perhaps the java use flag should be
filtered when cross compiling for the x86 libraries.

I also encountered exactly this bug, due to USE="java multilib".

[Comment 2 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-03-31 13:03:10 UTC]

does this problem still exist in gcc 3.4 snapshots?

[Comment 3 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-03-31 14:16:05 UTC]

the amd64 default use settings have been updated to add nogcj so that gcj wont be compiled by default. this fixes the problem, but still doesnt enable gcj to be compiled with multilib enabled.

[Comment 4 Travis Tilley (RETIRED) 2004-03-31 16:28:42 UTC]

there's a fix in gcc cvs, so it should trickle it's way down once gcc 3.4 is released

I am having this problem with sys-devel/gcc-3.3.4-r1 on amd64.

Is anyone working on that issue?
