I was updating my ebuilds and app-text/mupdf-1.10a-r2 was a dependency to some other ebuild, but it failed to compile with the following errors:

In file included from include/mupdf/pdf.h:11:0,

Thanks for the report, I try to reproduce this error with an amd64 stable box, need to find one first.

Sorry, I could not reproduce the bug, exact same FLAGS, compiler version.

Have you tried rerunning the emerge?
Is your system up-to-date? like a recent emerge -avuD --changed-use @world run?

The include hierarchy an the typedef looks rather unsuspicious.

yes, very strange. I've synced the portage tree again today and re-emerged and mupdf was compiling just fine. Whatever caused this, it's not a problem for me any more. I'll close this bug.
