Created attachment 559048 [details] emerge --info The dev-libs/botan-2.8.0 ebuild doesn't build on Gentoo ppc64le hosts. This appears to be due to upstream's `configure.py` script which doesn't recognize the architecture. This is a regression from dev-libs/botan-1.10.17-r2 which builds fine on the same machine. In spite of not building, the 2.8.0 ebuild is keyworded for ~ppc64. I have not tested on a ppc64 big endian installation, but I'm sure the issue exists there too. I will look into correcting this upstream and provide patches here when ready. The output of `emerge --info` is provided in the attached file `info.txt`. The build log of `dev-libs/botan-2.8.0` is provided in the attached file `build.txt`.

I've tracked the issue down to the botan ebuild passing the first part of CHOST as the --cpu flag to `configure.py`. On my system, this results in `--cpu=powerpc64le` which botan does not recognize. I've submitted a pull request to the botan project that resolves this by aliasing powerpc64le to ppc64: https://github.com/randombit/botan/pull/1801
