This bug doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. Somehow it is running an empty test phase instead of emake.

The configure script output looks horribly suspicious, as though it doesn't generate a Makefile at all, but also doesn't exit with failure if it fails?

echo -n "Checking dynamic linking loader... "
$xcc config/dl.c >/dev/null 2>&1
if [ $? != 0 ]; then
        $xcc config/dl.c -ldl >/dev/null 2>&1
        if [ $? != 0 ]; then
                rm -f a.out
                echo no
                exit
        fi
        lib_dl=-ldl
else
        lib_dl=
fi
rm -f a.out
echo yes


The entire script has ZERO concept of error checking.
Comment 6 Eli Schwartz gentoo-dev 2024-03-03 05:31:51 UTC
Fails if I export CC=clang, the issue is that config/dl.c has implicit-int inside of it.

    app-i18n/xvnkb: error out immediately if no Makefile exists
    
    This package is absolutely horrible. It has the world's worst homebrew
    "configure" script, which fails but doesn't *error out* with
    -Wimplicit-int as a compiler default error, and also has:
    
    config.h:1:1: error: expected identifier or ‘(’ before ‘-’ token
        1 | -e #ifndef __VK_CONFIG_H
    
    which is just... dandy... I too love unix command flags echo'ed into my
    headers...
    
    It's a wreck but we can at least detect when it cannot compile anything
    and abort with a clearer message.
