I get this very same bug when running catalyst to produce a stage3 on amd64. Package is sys-devel/libperl-5.8.5, as is currently marked stable on amd64. Perl devs: Any idea what could cause this?
Raised severity to blocker: This bug blocks me from building the amd64 release.
Danny, post your emerge info. Rasmus - did you try this without ccache enabled? Looks (at an ignorant first glance) like the compilation is getting ahead of itself.
(In reply to comment #3) > Rasmus - did you try this without ccache enabled? Looks (at an ignorant first > glance) like the compilation is getting ahead of itself. I did not try this w/o ccache but I resolved it long ago. So long, in fact, I can not remember the solution at all and have since been forced to reinstall this box due to disk failure. One definite problem I had (but cant remember if that was the cause of this) was that my /var was sym-linked off to another place. That confused portage from time to time when it did relative path traversal and ended up places it did not expect to... Sorry I dont have more info. Rasmus
amd/release folks: can you change the emake's to makes? This has been an ongoing battle - we remove the emake, it gets placed back in. Perl has problems when you attempt to do a parallel compile - i'd like to rule this out of your problem. Maybe a new bug is in order since right now we're sending email to OP and he isn't having the bug anymore?
This is no parallel compile thing. make isn't recognising the LIBPERL environment variable. In order to let make recognize envvars correctly, you need either to add -E to the make call or do (e)make ... LIBPERL=${LIBPERL} ${LIBPERL}. Fixed in sys-devel/libperl-5.8.{5,6}.
