strange. I shall look into this later
Comment 2 Bram Verweij 2021-12-30 08:35:58 UTC
I'm also hit by this issue.

Here is the relevant bit of config.log:

Indeed, when manually editing the configure script to include <stdbool.h>, configuration succeeds.

The same problem popped up for me around a month ago with dbmail-3.2.3-r5. Strangely enough, the same package had been installed before on the same machine without any problems. I have a faint suspicion that it could have something to do with gcc and include files that are or are not included by default, depending on the version of gcc and/or portage configuration.

In case you need a "clean" workaround for this (thanks, Bram, for the hint with stdbool.h):

1. Create a file /etc/portage/env/dbmail-cflags with the following contents:

CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -include stdbool.h"

2. Put the following line into /etc/portage/package.env:

net-mail/dbmail dbmail-cflags

It solves the problem.

which gcc version did you use when this happened? it works here with both gcc 13 and 14
