in net-libs/wvstreams/wvstreams-3.70-r2.ebuild change
[ "${ARCH}" = "alpha" -o "${ARCH}" = "hppa" ] && append-flags -fPIC
to
[ "${ARCH}" = "alpha" -o "${ARCH}" = "hppa" -o "${ARCH}" = "amd64" ] && append-flags -fPIC

does it work then?

I did the change to the ebuild file, but unfortunatly i am getting the same error again. see below:

   implicitly a typename
../streams/wvstream.h:21: warning: implicit typename is deprecated, please see
   the documentation for details

Try to emerge wvdial with the following line appended to /etc/portage/package.keywords:
net-libs/wvstreams ~YOUR_ARCH

The unstable version of wvstreams compiles without any compiler warning. I cannot say the same about stable version. Maybe 3.75 should be marked as stable since it builds so cleanly.

Please post a reply with the results.
