As it's happening too often in gentoo/ppc stable another package fails its building stage... While emerging xffm-4.0.6 I got the following error: ... libtool: install: warning: remember to run `libtool --finish /usr/lib' make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xffm-4.0.6/work/xffm-4.0.6/smb' make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/xffm-4.0.6/work/xffm-4.0.6/smb' Making install in src make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xffm-4.0.6/work/xffm-4.0.6/src' make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/xffm-4.0.6/work/xffm-4.0.6/src' test -z "/usr/bin" || mkdir -p -- .

this is very old, shouldn't be a problem in current releases
closing, reopen if there's still some kind of problem with 4.2
