Description Johan Verrept 2005-02-21 10:39:40 UTC 
The --arch-override=x86 argument is not sufficient to build an x86 kernel on an amd64 machine. If --makeopts="ARCH=i386" is added it builds the kernel, but not the modules because of an overly restrictive MAKEOPTS protection. Fix attached.

Also, dietlibc fails. Due to a makefile error.

Patch attached.

Comment 4 Tim Yamin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-03-30 07:14:28 UTC 
3.1.5 doesn't build dietlibc at all so this isn't an issue any longer; closing bug.
