When attempting to build net-tools on freshly setup stage3 for x86 ( sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20111120203157 on ~x86 or whatever is currently available in stable ) , i get a following error message: -------------------------------------------- strip.c:24:28: fatal error: linux/if_strip.h: No such file or directory #include <linux/if_strip.h> ^ compilation terminated. -------------------------------------------- it happens against linux-headers 3.19 (stable) and 4.1 (~x86) on whatever net-tools version is most recent for each, respectively. Possibly a relevant link : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=700008 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. setup basic system using most recent stage3 2. try installing net-tools or optionally updating everything to ~x86 3. build fails x86 stage3, building for pentium3 .
This is fixed in both the most recent stable (1.60_p20130513023548) and unstable (1.60_p20141019041918-r1) version. Why are you trying to use version 1.60_p20111120203157? What do emerge -pv =sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20141019041918-r1 emerge -pv =sys-apps/net-tools-1.60_p20130513023548 say?
For some odd reason, this is what pkgcore wants to do. I suppose that is the root of the problem. Portage suggests updated version.
