Description Nolan Eakins 2015-10-01 22:40:58 UTC

Setting LIBS in make.conf causes the build to fail by trying to use "-l$LIBS".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. LIBS="-lm" emerge sys-libs/efivars
2. Notice the failure
3. Notice the "-l-lm" where the failure occurred.
Actual Results:  
emerge fails

Expected Results:  
emerge gives me a hug.

So... why are you setting LIBS in make.conf?

Comment 2 Nolan Eakins 2015-10-01 23:20:08 UTC

More than one package would complain about not being able to find some math function. Using `LIBS="-lm"` took care of that.

Please file bugs for those packages.

Setting LIBS="-lm" is likely to break other random packages, as you have seen.

I will take a look at efivar to see if this is an easy fix anyway.
