Arches can be added on or after 2019-08-15.
The ebuild seems to drop support for NEWDB/NDBM, causing makemap / sendmail to no longer be able to create/use access/virtusertable/etc. files. Can you restore support for this?
Really great to see sendmail in Gentoo getting an update, thanks Hans and others for that. I've been using my own 8.15.2 ebuild for a while, and I found that after upgrading to profile 17.1 on my boxes I had an issue with sendmail, which IIRC was related to makemap being unable to create database files. I believe it is due to the lib/lib64 symlink changes in 17.1. My solution was to add the following line to the end of files/site.config.m4 in the ebuild: APPENDDEF(`confLIBDIRS', `-L/usr/lib64') I'm not sure if this is the correct solution or a kludge, but it resolved (and still resolves) the issue for me. It seems without that line makemap looks in /usr/lib for libraries and, as they are not in there, fails to run. Before, the symlink masked this problem.

I can confirm this solves it for me as well. Can we get this pushed upstream?
