build log

Undefined symbols for architecture x86_64:
  "_faccessat", referenced from:
      _safe_access in safe.o

This is an upstream bug but prefix may wish to patch it before upstream GNU patch project gets around to fixing it.

In addition, bootstrapping prefix on Yosemite failed on patch-2.7.4 in stage3. Not sure if it's related.

[Comment 4 iloveosxzfs 2015-02-03 18:30:47 UTC]

As a workaround you can just mask 2.7.4 so that the bootstrap can finish.

echo '=sys-devel/patch-2.7.4' >> YOURPREFIX/etc/portage/package.mask

Thanks, masking appears to be working for me.

Got a link for upstream bug?  I can see a commit that updates gnulib, which I think it related.  In that case it's a matter of masking this one, or else we'll have to run eautoreconf and stuff.

Masked

FYI, leave it masked. But on OS X 10.10, I was able to get patch-2.7.4 working fine with this commit from upstream: 

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commit;h=b650986cb3789b6c8d347c65879c821b5ec537fa

For earlier versions of OS X, not sure what else would be required.

Same for AIX and Solaris.
