Description Daniel M. Weeks 2017-11-14 18:36:20 UTC

I believe this build failure occurs when USE="nse -libssh2" as a result of upstream b57d23f005ee8a22792ecfb0d6e506a139f8c757 combined with the ebuild tying --with-zlib to libssh2.

With USE="nse -libssh" -lz is missing during linking with nds_zlib.o.

USE=nse now also requires configure --with-zlib.

It does not appear any released version of nmap is affected at this time.

Reproducible: Always

The actual problem is that --with-zlib defines ZLIB_LIBS but Makefile.in inexplicably uses LIBZLIB_LIBS.
