This package is suffering from several years of bitrot, and appears to be abandoned. Unfortunately it's a dependency for several things: First issue is that #581138 was closed but does not appear to be fixed. (?) I still get the error originally cited in that bug: ‘major’ is not a function or function pointer The ebuild was changed to add "#include <sys/sysmacros.h>" to bindings/ruby/rbsigar.c but it needs added to bindings/ruby/linux_sigar.c After that, there are problems with the recent changes with the rpc libs (net-libs/libtirpc) I had to add "-L/lib64 -ltirpc" to the makefile in order for it to link up. References to "clnttcp_create", "xdr_void", "clntudp_create" and "__rpc_createerr" were missing. If I understand correctly this all stems from recent changes related to the latest glibc. Reproducible: Always

Unfortunately it's a dependency for several things: Nothing in the gentoo tree depends on it so my proposal would be to mask this for removal. What dependencies are you referring to?
No, nothing in the tree, but I've been using Eye (https://github.com/kostya/eye) for some process management stuff that has sigar as a dependency.

References to "clnttcp_create", "xdr_void", > "clntudp_create" and "__rpc_createerr" were missing. || ( <sys-libs/glibc-2.26 net-libs/libnsl ) My understanding is that it should be enough to add this dependency to the ebuild: || ( <sys-libs/glibc-2.26 net-libs/libnsl ) This should keep using the old interface via the libnsl package. Could you confirm that this works? i.e. no changes to the package but having libnsl installed?

Libnsl has libtirpc as a dependency and provides NIS functions on top of libtipc. But I don't think dev-ruby/sigar needs anything from libnsl and only needs to link against libtipc. And the pkgconfig for libnsl doesn't pull in libtipc anyway. So probably what's needed is to have || ( <sys-libs/glibc-2.26 net-libs/libtirpc ) and then add -ltirpc to the build flags.
