Somehow the --libdir to ./configure is always specified with leading double slashes like //usr/lib... this is inconsistent with the rest of the paths. Example from windowmaker ./configure: ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib --libdir=//usr/lib --sysconfdir=/etc/X11 Of course it is a legal path unfortunately there is software that depends on the "shorter" version. One example is ruby software using mkmf.rb, as mkmf.rb is comparing strings to resolve if two paths are the same. I'm not sure if this should be fixed in the core eclasses (probably toolchain.eclass) or if it should be fixed on the ebuild level. If it is decided to not fix this here I will submit a bug for the ruby ebuild instead.

I've also noticed that there are several occurances of "/usr/lib" in windowmaker ebuild, which should probably be replaced by "/usr/$(get_libdir)".
econf does this

Fixed on or before 2.0.51.22-r1
Looking through the batch of bugs, I'm not sure that some of these are actually fixed in stable. Others, the requirements have possibly changed after the initial fix was committed. If you think this bug has been closed incorrectly, please reopen or ask that it be reopened.
