Created attachment 414676 [details] full build log When building python-3.3.5-r2 in metro stages, libffi is not found and build fails. Attaching full log.
So far, I am seeing this only on 32-bit systems. I have been unable to reproduce on 64-bit multilib, so far.
Is your virtual/libffi the same as ours? Does it depend on dev-libs/libffi? Just trying to rule out any toolchain differences.
Without researching the root cause, it looks like this bug was caused by some other failure on the stage, possibly a gawk failure. Closing it.
