I'm working on it. Problems with 1.18 ebuild: - missing gtk-doc dep; - doc USE is ignored; - automagic libiconv; - automagic recode; - deprecated eclasses; - 404 homepage. I wonder how previous maintainers managed to skip all this. Yes, maksbotan, this is a question for you.
All of the above already fixed in my 1.19 ebuild, but cross-compilation is still broken: parts of build system compile and execute C code, which easily breaks for obvious reasons. Some places where this happens aren't fixed in 1.18 probably because nobody looked for those.
Ok, I fixed cross compilation as well. Tomorrow I'll submit PR and update this bug accordingly.
(In reply to Coacher from comment #0) >[...] > - automagic recode; >[...] My mistake: recode dependency isn't automagic.
enca has an optional iconv interface. During configure step enca compiles and executes C code (iconvcap) that includes some data derived from iconv.h into the resulting libenca library [1,2]. This obviously breaks when cross compiling for a different arch because the compiled binary isn't executable. If we compile the said C code using the build system's toolchain, then we pollute the target binaries with build system's info. Thus there's no correct way to cross-compile enca with iconv support now. With that said, starting with 1.19 enca ebuild dies when cross compiling with iconv support enabled. Previously there were no special actions re this problem, so iconv support silently failed when cross compiling for a different arch and worked when cross compiling for the same arch, which is as bad as automagic.

Starting with 1.19 recode interface isn't enabled by default as upstream that fails to fix a glaring buffer overflow for two years [1] is as good as dead. iconv interface is enabled by default instead that should work for the vast majority of users. [1]: https://github.com/pinard/Recode/pull/3
