When I try to emerge linux26-headers-2.6.7-r3, I get errors about linux/limit.h and asm/socket.h not being in the system. I think there should not be any asm/* and linux/* files because linux headers havn't been installed yet. This is the log.

Mike: Magnade's reported that this happens when no headers are installed. I guess the solution is to either check for headers or just remove the || die...
ive seen this before but because it wasnt fatal i never bothered to 'fix' it :) perhaps the real fix here is to stick in some CFLAGS so the `make` builds against the linux include files in $S/include/{linux,asm} instead of /usr/include/{linux,asm} ? i can put together a patch if you want to go that route tim
That'll work - I think we can just redefine the necessary environment variables in the ebuild? If not, then we can fix the Makefiles...
hey, i was just pointed to this on irc. this bug should have been fixed along with the other crap i fixed for the linux26-headers migration... unless my fix was reverted: src_compile() { # autoconf.h isnt generated unless it already exists. plus, we have # no gurentee that any headers are installed on the system... [ -f ${ROOT}/usr/include/linux/autoconf.h ] || \ touch ${S}/include/linux/autoconf.h # if there arent any installed headers, then there also isnt an asm # symlink in /usr/include/, and make defconfig will fail. ln -sf ${S}/include/asm-${ARCH} ${S}/include/asm make defconfig HOSTCFLAGS="-Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -I${S}/include/" }
oh boy, i didnt notice the new "make prepare". yeah, it should use the same variable as the make defconfig... ignore me :)
+1 on this. I had a conflict between my linux-headers and this when updating glibc, removed linux-headers and ended up with a broken system due to this bug.
i've added the fix to cvs. enjoy :)
