Created attachment 493812 [details] stage2.log ./bootstrap-rap.sh fails when building libiconv in stage 2, please see log.
RAP does not support AIX, because glibc does not. Please re-orient your effort with bootstrap-prefix.sh.
It seems like a RAP installation will be more robust. RAP is what I thought a prefix actually was until I realized there was a difference. There is nothing that I can find that says glibc is unsupported on AIX, and there are users making vague references to being able to either compile it themselves or download it from IBM The "IBM Toolbox for Linux Applications" includes libstdc++, though admittedly I can't find a libc. I am generating a prefix now.
libstdc++ comes from gcc or libcxx (unlikely here), so that one has nothing to do with glibc.
missing epatch indicates a missing inherit eutils by the way, this may be caused by a (silent) EAPI update?
@blueness (since you committed this) and @ntzrmtthihu777 please check for epatch when you bump EAPI.
I pushed the fix (epatch -> eapply), thanks

Honestly I didn't see anything forbidding it or requiring it to be updated on devmanual.gentoo.org's eapi [1] page, but I will keep it in mind for further PRs and fixups.
