While trying to cross compile sys-apps/iproute2-3.3.0 for a armv6jl-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi toolchain it failed with the following : armv6jl-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -march=armv6j -mtune=arm6 -mfloat-abi=hard -mlittle-endian -mfpu=vfp -Os -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -I../include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES -DLIBDIR=\"/lib\" -DCONFIG_GACT -DCONFIG_GACT_PROB -DIPT_LIB_DIR=\"/usr/lib/xtables\" -DYY_NO_INPUT -L../lib -Wl,-export-dynamic -shared -fpic -o m_xt.so m_xt.c $(pkg-config xtables --cflags --libs) /usr/libexec/gcc/armv6jl-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libxtables.so when searching for -lxtables /usr/libexec/gcc/armv6jl-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi/ld: skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libc.so when searching for -lc /usr/lib/libc.a: could not read symbols: File format not recognized We get this result as HOST pkg-config is used, and not crossdev wrapper one. Here is a fix to get it work by inheriting PKG_CONFIG tc-exported in src_configure(). If env variable PKG_CONFIG is not present, pkg-config is used instead. Attached log failure and patch for iproute2-3.3.0 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. USE="iptables" armv6jl-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi-emerge -vat =iproute2-3.3.0 2. 3.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report! Commit message: Use the correct pkg-config when cross-compiling http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/iproute2/files/iproute2-3.6.0-pkg-config.patch?rev=1.1 http://sources.gentoo.org/sys-apps/iproute2/iproute2-3.6.0.ebuild?r1=1.1&r2=1.2
