I've compiled traceroute-1.4_p12-r2 using emerge on my darwin/osx box. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add the ppc-macos keyword to the ebuild (traceroute-1.4_p12-r2.ebuild) 2. Comment line 36 (append-ldflags -Wl,-z,now) to the ebuild 3. FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge -v traceroute Actual Results: It works.. :) Vigor11:~ root# traceroute Version 1.4a12 Usage: traceroute [-dFInrvx] [-g gateway] [-i iface] [-f first_ttl] [-m max_ttl] [ -p port] [-q nqueries] [-s src_addr] [-t tos] [-w waittime] [-z pausemsecs] host [packetlen] Vigor11:~ root#

have you emerged the system with "emerge system"?
Of course I've emerged system. I did not notice that you commented line 36 in the ebuild. Sorry about that. I am not willing to comment that line without finding out what it is there for. The fact that the comment details about suid apps suggests there may be a security reason for those flags. I am not experienced with this, so I don't know.
Apparently those linker options don't work for a lot of archs and are simply commented when that is the case. So, kito: if you want to keyword this for your profile or for ppc-darwin, make the following modification at line 36: use ppc-macos || append-ldflags -Wl,-z,now and go right ahead. Please package.mask this for the collision-protect profile as BSD traceroute is already provided by the system.
has this bug been dealt with in the progressive profile yet?
