When I have my system wide php cli set to php 7.0 or 7.1 I can't compile dev-php/PEAR-Console_Table: >>> Install PEAR-Console_Table-1.1.6 into /var/tmp/portage/dev-php/PEAR-Console_Table-1.1.6/image/ category dev-php Parse error: syntax error, unexpected 'new' (T_NEW) in /usr/share/php/PEAR/Frontend.php on line 91 * ERROR: dev-php/PEAR-Console_Table-1.1.6::gentoo failed (install phase): Upstream has released 1.3.0 which according to its changelog has some php7 related fixes. So I assume bumping the version will probably fix this: https://pear.php.net/package/Console_Table/download/
Version bump'd
