Created attachment 734905 [details, diff] The patch to fix make-4.3.ebuild in order to respect user patches. The current make-4.3 is broken with respect to $PATH handling. This has brought me to gdb to find out the culprit and prepare a patch. It turned out, this issue is known and fixed upstream [0] but the fix is not yet released. The src_prepare() function in ebuild changes directory from $S to $S/src but not all sources are contained within this directory. This makes it impossibly to patch the gnulib part of make. I am attaching a patch which fixes the issue (the issue of not respecting user patches, not the original one with $PATH handling). PS: By the way, it may be worthful to pull the fix for $PATH-handling issue too because the breakage is cryptic and takes quite an amount of head scraping, especially if build system is sophisticated as it was in my case.

Thanks. I'd include the gnulib patch but it's not clear which we need.
