Comment 2 Samuli Suominen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-02 15:54:20 UTC
Attach the complete build.log and also the config.log from /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/pkgconfig... that's generated by the ./configure (econf)

Futher, post the output of:

# pkg-config --libs glib-2.0
# pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0

It seems like you have wider system breakage going on here with the "openpty failed: 'out of pty devices'"
Comment 3 Rafał Mużyło 2014-04-02 15:54:47 UTC
Let's see...

> openpty failed: 'out of pty devices'

> !!! It seems that /proc is not mounted. You have been warned.

Are you sure the problem lies on the package side ?
Comment 4 dE 2014-04-02 16:32:43 UTC
I'm in a chroot environment.

Comment 6 dE 2014-04-02 16:44:09 UTC
pkg-config --libs glib-2.0
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found

pkg-config --cflags glib-2.0
Package glib-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `glib-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'glib-2.0' found
Comment 7 dE 2014-04-02 16:45:09 UTC
I rbind dev,proc,sys and now those warnings are gone.

I missed that.   Yes, indeed, can't have a working system with no working /sys and /proc, closing...

See attachment, they don't have the warnings now.

Well, that's likely both INVALID and not.
It's a bootstrap problem - if glib isn't installed yet, you need to first emerge pkg-config with 'internal-glib' set, emerge glib then drop that useflag and reemerge pkg-config.
Comment 11 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-03 14:28:59 UTC
Er, so is dev-libs/glib:2 installed or not?
Comment 12 dE 2014-04-04 03:12:22 UTC
Yes, of course it is installed at 2.38.2-r1.

Currently, pkgconfig has internal-glib, I'm trying to get rid of that in hopes that it'll remove other pkgconfig related build time failures.

In such case, does glib-2.0.pc exist in its proper place and the correct content ?
Comment 14 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2014-04-04 16:33:13 UTC

( Could you please stop quoting eix output and use emerge output instead? )

Now, where did you get dev-libs/glib? Was it pre-installed in a stage3 you used, or did you emerge it yourself?

I did an emptytree (new host), so it was a rebuild. I checked the Gentoo install before it was copied to to the new host, and it's glib seems ok (it has many more things apart from the docs).

Also despite march=native and emptytree I'm getting invalid optcode from the kernel when it tries to execute systemd -- may be related but very unlikely.

It looks like you may want to start again: a file that should have been in place was not, and I can't think of a single way the build system could have caused that. Try our support options next time instead of the bug tracker.

I'll just build a binary package and and migrate it.

Thanks!
