does /bin/true exist on your system ?
if not, try `emerge sh-utils` and try again ...

the same here... i have TRUE installed. look:

root@sciacca downloads # /bin/true       
root@sciacca downloads # /bin/true --version
true (GNU sh-utils) 2.0.11

Hey, i tried this, i extracted my /usr/portage/distfiles/bash-2.05a.tar.gz and
then i run ./configure and make manually it works!!! Then, why isnt it work when
I use the ebuild? I think there's something to change in here:

src_compile() {                                                                
                                                                               
        local myconf                                                           
        [ "`use readline`" ] && myconf="--with-installed-readline"             
        [ -z "`use nls`" ] && myconf="${myconf} --disable-nls"                 
        ./configure --prefix=/ \                                               
                --mandir=/usr/share/man \                                      
                --infodir=/usr/share/info \                                    
                --host=${CHOST} \                                              
                --disable-profiling \                                          
                --with-curses \                                                
                --without-gnu-malloc \                                         
                ${myconf} || die                                               
        
# bash 2.0.5 doesn't like -j>1                                                 
make -j1 || die                                                         
}

I tried to change "emake" in "make" but its the same. Thanks, please help me.
