Please attach the entire build log to this bug report.
Also, post the output of `emerge -vpq sys-devel/patch'. Also, why is your system so outdated?
I have the same issue.
(In reply to Pierre from comment #3) > I have the same issue. As said earlier: what's your version of sys-devel/patch ? And as usual - post your emerge --info
upgrading sys-devel/patch solved the problem for me.
Ok, then, problem was in too old system
maybe you could add a check for this?
(In reply to Pierre from comment #7) > maybe you could add a check for this? There are too much problems that could lead to broken things if you have outdated system and new userland. If you encounter such problems - basic solution is: emerge -u @system Checks for patch version in such cases should be added only for base-system packages
