In pkg_postinst, the perl ebuilds currently execute the line: cd /usr/include; find ./ -name "*.h" -type f -exec h2ph {} \; That is completely ridiculous, as Perl is certainly not going to need to have perl-compiled header information for every single .h file underneath the /usr/include tree. The Perl install docs *do* recommend that you run some h2ph commands, but their recommended command is: cd /usr/include; h2ph *.h sys/*.h Note that that command is *far* different from the one currently in place, and will save a rather staggering amount of time when installing perl (the h2phes had been going for about 45 minutes on my box before I got sick of it and went to go see what the issue was). So anyway, if this could be fixed I'd really appreciated it. Thanks! Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge perl 2. wait
sorry for the late response - fixed in all of the perl ebuilds
