Created attachment 751204 [details, diff] Configure cross --without-ada I suppose this can happen when * the same version of sys-libs/ncurses is not installed on the build host (which triggers the "cross" part), and * GNAT is installed. Maybe we need to configure the "cross" part with --without-ada. Not sure if --disable-gnat-projects is also needed.
Seems like the bug could be worked around. After removing (emerge -C) the old versions of gnat-gpl (2021) and ncurses, the new versions (2021-r1 and 6.2_p20210619) could be emerged.
sys-libs/ncurses-6.3_p20221203: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/12.2.0/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -ltinfo: No such file or directory
Adding the following line to etc/portage/package.use makes the build finish without error: =sys-libs/ncurses-6.3_p20221203 -ada
I am also encountering the same error. Will search for a resolution, but have resorted to "-ada" for now as well.
None of the broken versions (6.2_p20210619, 6.3_p20221203) exist any more and version 6.3_p20221203-r2 is installed with the ada flag.
Created attachment 861647 [details] build.log The bug reappeared with version 6.4_p20230401.

This doesn't affect the installed files.
