When I tried to emerge GWorkspace, a dependency, ffcall, fails while building and exits with the following error: creating Makefile creating config.h cd avcall; make all make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/ffcall-1.8d/work/ffcall-1.8d/avcall' make[1]: *** No rule to make target `avcall-x86_64.lo', needed by `avcall.lo'.

Function src_compile, Line 34, Exitcode 2 !!! (no error message) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.emerge ffcall on amd64 system Actual Results: emerge failed Expected Results: emerge should have completed processing the ebuild
This isn't marked stable or unstable on amd64. Are you compiling on a amd64 with a non amd64 KEYWORDS (emerge info)?
yes, I am. I realize now that maybe I should have filed a request to have ~amd64 added first. what do I do in this case? I'm interested in GNUstep software, but none of it has keywords for amd64 yet.
ffcall uses lot of assembler... won't work anytime soon !
lots o' assembler...
