I don't think /var/tmp/portage is problematic per se, although it's kind of interesting because it isn't going to be owned by root?

[Comment 2 Ionen Wolkens 2021-03-21 07:24:55 UTC]

I find it curious that this path is there at all, it's for a different package.

I did try to reproduce but RUNPATH only has /usr/lib64 for me.

[Comment 3 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2021-03-22 07:35:53 UTC]

I suspect something strange in output of one of:
apu-1-config --includes
apu-1-config --ldflags
apu-1-config --link-ld
apu-1-config --link-libtool
apu-1-config --libs

Please show them.

[Comment 4 Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis 2021-03-22 07:53:15 UTC]

Do you maybe use sys-devel/slibtool?
If yes, then check if problem disappears after rebuilding dev-libs/apr and dev-libs/apr-util with sys-devel/libtool.

[Comment 6 Alessandro Barbieri 2021-03-22 15:07:30 UTC]

I've reemerged apr apr-util and serf without slibtool but I get the same runpath

[Comment 7 Ionen Wolkens 2021-03-22 15:09:35 UTC]

(In reply to Alessandro Barbieri from comment #5)

It's not slibtool, looks like this happen when apr-util is built with USE=berkdb (wasn't when I tested before), and sure enough if I build serf after doing this I too get:

Library runpath: [/usr/lib64:/tmp/portage/dev-libs/apr-util-1.6.1-r6/temp]
