Description Mikael Magnusson 2017-04-15 12:21:18 UTC

At https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/eclass/multibuild.eclass#n129 are the lines

		# make sure no processes are left over
		local leftovers=
		while :; do
			wait -n
			[[ ${?} -eq 127 ]] && break || leftovers=1
		done


However,
/var/tmp/portage/media-libs/freetype-2.7.1-r2/temp/environment: line 2399: wait: -n: invalid option
wait: usage: wait [id]

In bash 4.2, which is still available as a stable package in portage, wait does not support the -n option. This causes the freetype build to fail and probably many others.
