I am trying to emerge wpa-supplicant 0.2.5. Googling on the compile error was unfruitful as well as searching Gentoo bugzilla for this compile problem. I will attach tail end of emerge log.

Which version of net-wireless/wireless-tools do you have installed? Could you please attach the output of 'MAKEOPTS="-j1" emerge =net-wireless/wpa-supplicant-0.2.5'?
Created attachment 44521 [details] MAKEOPTS="-j1" output Attached requested emerg output. Version of wireless-tools installed is 26-r1.
Emerged wireless-tools-27_pre26, same result.
I put a new hard disk in my laptop and did a full new Gentoo stage 1 install - wpa-supplicant compiles just fine at this point. Will post emerge info from the system shortly....
Perhaps your old harddisk was full?

> wpa-supplicant compiles just fine at this point Does this mean we can close this bug report?
Sure, I guess I'd just like to know if there was something obvious that would have caused it from the emerge info from the new install. FWIW my old hard disk had about 700 or 800 MB free on the / partition, so I would doubt space to have been the issue.
The amount of free space on the / partition is not that interesting - the amount of free space in /var/tmp/portage is more interesting ;-) Anyways, closing this as WORKSFORME. Please reopen if you can reproduce the error.
