I tried to emerge net-im/ekg-1.6_rc1, but I get a compile error. I have both nptl and nptl-only in my USE-flags. I don't think it's a amd64 specific bug, so I didn't set amd64 as the hardware platform. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. compile glibc with USE="ntpl nptl-only" 2. emerge ekg Actual Results: doesn't want to compile. error message: checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc checking for C compiler default output... a.out checking whether the C compiler works... yes checking whether we are cross compiling... no checking for suffix of executables... checking for suffix of object files... o checking whether we are using the GNU C compiler... yes checking whether x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc accepts -g... yes checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc option to accept ANSI C... none needed checking how to run the C preprocessor... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -E checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for an ANSI C-conforming const... yes checking for gmake... /usr/bin/gmake checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar checking for x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip... x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strip checking whether byte ordering is bigendian... no checking for uintXX_t types... found in <stdint.h> checking for t_accept in -lnsl... no checking for socket in -lsocket... no checking for __inet_addr in -lbind... no checking for gethostbyname_r... yes checking for inet_pton... yes checking for va_copy... yes checking for __va_copy... yes checking for C99-compatible vsnprintf()... yes checking for the pthreads library -lpthreads... no checking whether pthreads work without any flags... no checking whether pthreads work with -Kthread... no checking whether pthreads work with -kthread... no checking for the pthreads library -llthread... no checking whether pthreads work with -pthread... yes checking for joinable pthread attribute...

Created attachment 56158 [details] an updated version of the ebuild for 1.6_rc1 Please try replacing the ebuild from Portage with the attached one and let me know whether it fixes the problem for you.
Created attachment 56246 [details, diff] patch that fixes the pthread-configure-error patch that fixes the pthread-configure-error. it adds -fPIC to the compile flags in a configure-test.
ok, it worked, but ekg without pthread sux I found out why configure crashes. The problem occurs, because any program, that requires pthreads fails to compile with the -shared flag when compiling without -fPIC.. example: #include <pthread.h> int main () { pthread_t th; pthread_join(th, 0); pthread_attr_init(0); pthread_cleanup_push(0, 0); pthread_create(0,0,0,0); pthread_cleanup_pop(0); return 0; } when trying to compile: bash-2.05b$ gcc -shared main.c -lpthread /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /tmp/cc5PWaFt.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `pthread_join@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status bash-2.05b$ gcc -lpthread -shared main.c /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: /tmp/ccYI0m7t.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `pthread_join@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status configure contains such a test that tries to compile -shared without -fPIC. I created a patch that fixes the bug. I hope everything is ok with it...
I've added the patch to the ebuild in CVS. Thanks :)
