app-shells/bash-3.0 cause gcc to fail to compile due to syntax changes in some commands. e.g. trap masking bash-3.0 fixed the problem hth creating ./config.status creating Makefile creating intl/Makefile creating fixinc/Makefile creating gccbug creating mklibgcc creating mkheaders creating auto-host.h trap: usage: trap [-lp] [[arg] signal_spec ...] !!! ERROR: sys-devel/gcc-3.3.5 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 540, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message)
Fixed in bash-3.0-r1
that was fast :-) many thanks!
and another things, other commands cause problems too, though not fatal. you may want to look into the tail and head commands e.g. checking assembler hidden support... head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' since this will be removed in the future yes checking assembler leb128 support... head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' since this will be removed in the future yes checking assembler eh_frame optimization... head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1' since this will be removed in the future tail: `-3' option is obsolete; use `-n 3' since this will be removed in the future yes
the head/tail problems are known and has nothing to do with gcc ... they're part of coreutils
