Comment 2 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2015-03-05 16:52:48 UTC
going to wait until upstream sorts it out
Comment 3 Oleh 2016-01-06 14:11:18 UTC
it's supposedly fixed in libtool upstream
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=32f0df9835ac15ac17e04be57c368172c3ad1d19
so wait until new release, or install libtool-9999
Comment 4 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2016-02-13 08:55:19 UTC
i've grabbed the fix from upstream and it's in libtool-2.4.6-r2 now:

    patches: sed-quote: add new patch
    
    See https://harald.hoyer.xyz/2015/03/05/libtool-getting-rid-of-180000-sed-forks/
    
    Interestingly, at the time, we added the patch to sys-devel/libtool in 5f4225eb727dcd8cc0eebd60620d4b2b160712aa,
    but we never pulled it into elt-patches.
    
    Note that we could try to pull in two more fixes:
    * 'libtool: optimizing options-parser hooks' (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=16dbc070d32e6d4601cb5878dfdf69f2e29c84e1)
    * 'funclib: refactor quoting methods a bit' (https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/libtool.git/commit/?id=9187e9a231e0a06cc29c336857e95f07f855b2c9)
    
    Unconvinced it's worth it for those though: they're a lot bigger and they affect
    the API of the functions so more care is needed with any risk of fuzz, etc.
