Is this a upgrade or fresh install? I can't reproduce with a fresh install?
It's an upgrade. I'm already running mail-mta/postfix-2.1.3 I've tried to unmerge postfix-2.1.3 and then emerge the newer one but nothig changed: still the same error
please post the output of `grep -vE '^#|^$' /etc/postfix/main.cf`.

Created attachment 43358 [details] postfix-2.1.5-r1.ebuild Please try the attached ebuild. If you have FEATURES="strict" in /etc/make.conf, you have to run `ebuild /path/to/postfix-2.1.5-r1.ebuild digest` again.
Created attachment 43359 [details] postfix-2.1.5-r1.ebuild oops. missing a "\"
I've downloaded your second ebuild. I'm aware of "local-ebuild" procedure, so I created a ney postfix's dir under my /urs/local/portage. Next I made an ebuild xxx digest but I got a problem: using latest stable portage (2.0.51-r2) I wasn't able to digest the files 'cause of miissing patch files. So I made an emerge -f /.../xxx.ebuild to fetch this missing files but it didn't fetch anything because there was no digest file. It seems a dog eating his tail... Do you now how to solve this problem without copying teh original dir and then replacing the original ebuild with the mofied one? However I tested the new ebuild and I got the same error... :(
please do this assumed you didn't change any of the default PORTAGE paths. # cd /usr/portage/mail-mta/postfix/ #not the local overlay. # FEATURES="-userpriv -usersanbox" ebuild postfix-2.1.5-r1.ebuild clean install # cd /var/tmp/portage/postfix-2.1.5-r1/work/postfix-2.1.5/ # /bin/sh -x postfix-install -non-interactive install_root=/var/tmp/portage/postfix-2.1.5-r1/image/ daemon_directory=/usr/lib/postfixprogram_directory=/usr/lib/postfix config_directory=/usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5-r1/defaults readme_directory=/usr/share/doc/postfix-2.1.5-r1/readme manpage_directory=/usr/share/man mail_owner=postfix setgid_group=postdrop > /tmp/postfix-install.log 2>&1 then attached the /tmp/postfix-install.log here.

for some unknown reasons, your system doesn't set the default value for variables that have not been specified. So please try this and post back the install log.

It looks like something wrong with your CFLAGS settings or ccache. To narrow down the problem please emerge postfix as: # FEATURES="-ccache" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -pipe" CXXFLAGS=${CFLAGS} emerge postfix If you have access to IRC, please join #gentoo-dev on irc.freenode.net and /msg langthang. I am still there in 3 more hours. It's easier/faster to help you on IRC.
Thanks, emerged without ccache and with O2 as compiler flag and postfix emerged successfully ;)
glad that it works for you. You may want to check your `cat /proc/cpuinfo` output. It could be that your Celeron is not a pentium2. If it is the case, change your CFLAGS so -march=pentium should be beeter or you will have a lot more problem with other packages, not just postfix.
