Description Dennis Schridde 2013-04-29 10:13:05 UTC 
When starting my cross-compiled nano (with syntax highlighting support enabled), I get several of these messages:
---
Error in /usr/share/nano/c.nanorc on line 5: Bad regex "[[:<:]][A-Z_][0-9A-Z_]+[[:>:]]": Invalid character class name
---

I suspect that it is related to this ./configure message:
---
checking for GNU-style word boundary regex support... configure: WARNING: *** Can't check for GNU-style word boundary support when cross-compiling
---

emerge --info (ROOT=/): attachment #345266 [details]
emerge --info (ROOT=/mnt/ppc64): attachment #345268 [details]

Reproducible: Always

Someone else had the same issue, and was also cross-compiling (though for ARM). No solution was found. I expect the solution to be in fixing the build, i.e. configure.

Actually these were a bit older (but the issue also existed back then). The current configuration is:
emerge --info (ROOT=/): attachment #346872 [details]
emerge --info (ROOT=/mnt/ppc64): attachment #346874 [details]
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2013-05-01 22:09:02 UTC 
should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!

Commit message: Force --with-wordbounds for glibc/uclibc targets so cross-compiles do not end up using *BSD styles on GNU systems

Comment 5 Laine Gholson 2017-02-18 01:36:54 UTC 
musl targets need --with-wordbounds too
