pulseaudio since version 6.0 started to fail to compile, so it's been quite a while (>=6.0 too fail to compile). Last version that still compiled on my system was 5.0-r7, which works to this day just fine. Meanwhile, I moved my Gentoo onto newer hardware, and recompiled system with `emerge -vtuDNe --with-bdeps=y world --keep-going=y`, and as expected, PA was the only thing that refused to compile. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. `emerge pulseaudio` Actual Results: PA fails during compiling phase. Expected Results: PA compiles successfully. $ emerge --info '=media-sound/pulseaudio-7.1::gentoo' Portage 2.2.24 (python 3.4.3-final-0, hardened/linux/amd64, gcc-4.9.3, glibc-2.21-r1, 4.2.7-gentoo

Created attachment 420688 [details] build.log for PA-7.1
Created attachment 420690 [details] environment
Attach relevant config.log too.
Created attachment 420700 [details] config.log from pulseaudio-7.1-abi_x86_32.x86
config.log content disagrees with the build log. Yet there's something peculiar about your environment... Attach your make.conf.
Created attachment 420706 [details] make.conf I have ~most of USE flags for packages specified in `package.use/*`, and there's lots of them though.. Should I also attach that concatenated in a single file?
It's not a matter of useflags. It's just that make.conf is exported verbatim. That leads to problems, if you're adding randomly named vars there, like - for example - AUDIO, VIDEO, MINUS_FLAGS or ....SYSTEMD_FLAGS. Sanitize it not to pollute the environment.
> (…) make.conf is exported verbatim. Thank you for the explanation. I've added `___` before and after each of my custom variables, and now PA compiles just fine.
