config.log from failed emerge

It seems that the current version of xfsprogs doesn't provide a suitable xfs.h file for sys-fs/xfsdump-3.1.3.

This is the latest output from the failed configure process:

checking xfs/xfs.h usability... no
checking xfs/xfs.h presence... yes
configure: WARNING: xfs/xfs.h: present but cannot be compiled
configure: WARNING: xfs/xfs.h:     check for missing prerequisite headers?
configure: WARNING: xfs/xfs.h: see the Autoconf documentation
configure: WARNING: xfs/xfs.h:     section "Present But Cannot Be Compiled"
configure: WARNING: xfs/xfs.h: proceeding with the compiler's result
checking for xfs/xfs.h... no

FATAL ERROR: cannot find a valid <xfs/xfs.h> header file.
Install or upgrade the XFS development package.
Alternatively, run "make install-dev" from the xfsprogs source.

4.x series requires xfsdump-3.1.6

Thanks Jory for pointing it out, I didn't know that.
Where is the source of this problem, then?

[Comment 3 fdupoux 2017-08-21 06:28:27 UTC]

Please just update to xfsdump-3.1.7 which has just been release. It fixes build issues with xfsprogs-4.9.0 and later versions:
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/fs/xfs/xfsdump/xfsdump-3.1.7.tar.xz

Fix in git:

I edited the existing ebuild in the official tree, modifying package version and url.
I can confirm that the issue is resolved and the emerge was completed successfully.

Thank you.

Given stable xfsdump is build-broken on 32-bit systems let's stable newer version.
