Simple update. Just copied the 1.16 ebuild.

ERROR: The ebuild did not complete successfully. !!! Function src_compile, Line 22, Exitcode 77 !!! configure problem This is strange - no other app yet has had trouble with g++. I had jikes-1.16 already and `emerge -u world` wanted to upgrade to 1.17. When that failed I unmerged 1.16 and retried 1.17 and now I have no jikes.
OK, forget about "checking for C++ compiler default output... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables" ... it was looking for /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++, which had disappeared after my experiments with bug 9016 ... sorry.
