When I try to emerge speechd, festival and its dependencies, I get an emake error while building speech-tools-1.2.3. The following is the error in question; Making in directory ./lib ... ngrammar_io.cc make est_program_makefile from est_program_makefile-in make est_mainline from est_mainline-in Make Shared Library eststring ngrammar_aux.cc Link Shared Library eststring if [ -n "" ] ; then libs=' -lncurses -ldl -lm -lstdc++ ' ; fi ;\ gcc -shared -fno-shared-data -o libeststring.so.1.2 shared_space/*.o $libs Make Shared Library estbase Link Shared Library estbase if [ -n "" ] ; then libs=' -lncurses -ldl -lm -lstdc++ ' ; fi ;\ gcc -shared -fno-shared-data -o libestbase.so.1.2.3.1 shared_space/*.o -L. -lest string $libs ngrammar_utils.cc shared_space/EST_Complex.o: file not recognized: File format n ot recognized collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[1]: *** [libestbase.so] Error 1 make: *** [lib] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....

can you try it again. if it fails the second time, try CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS="-O2 -pipe"
no response for over a week... most likely over-aggressive CFLAGS.
I had similar errors with speech-tools. It kept failing with ld errors. In the end I got it to build with MAKEOPTS="-j1" Dropping CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS back to "-O2 -pipe" seemed to have little effect as the build appears to override the -Ox flag.
using -j1 in cvs.
