https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2020/07/04/gentoo-tinderbox/ Issue: app-i18n/xvnkb-0.2.11 fails to compile (MUSL-CLANG-SYSTEM). Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: tinderbox_musl) NOTE: (MUSL-CLANG-SYSTEM) in the summary means that bug was found on a machine that runs MUSL libc + clang16 but this bug MAY or MAY NOT BE related to musl/clang16.

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?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA echo -n "Checking dynamic linking loader...

Fails if I export CC=clang, the issue is that config/dl.c has implicit-int inside of it.

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.

I feel that only way to fix it is to port it to modern build system. My experiments with that show that if it's pinned to gnu17, then it compiles and appears to be running. Can not verify if it's running correctly, at this time, but it refuses to close and needs to be killed. Also, mandatory LD_PRELOAD? That's icky and incompetent.
Just in case: https://github.com/NHOrus/xvnkb-meson/blob/master/meson.build https://github.com/NHOrus/xvnkb-meson/blob/master/meson.options https://github.com/NHOrus/xvnkb-meson/blob/master/config.h.in It builds everything current ebuild builds, artifacts don't crash instantly and appear to be working. Will update ebuild with this and hopefully preserve sanity of next maintainer tomorrow.

It also makes Eli Schwartz scream (# 900398#c5 ). Fix build by limiting C version to gnu17. Fix configure by rewriting build in Meson. New build artifacts are running, can't test if they are working correctly - original build fails to configure on my system at all.
