When attempting to emerge the sys-dev/libtool-1.5.16 package in a stage 2 install when running emerge --emptytree system the libtool package gets trapped in an infinite loop at the compile stage. The system date is set to the correct UTC time; however, the following error is reported in the make/compile process because the compiler believes that a file date is in the future. The process then repeats infinitely. All packages up to this package (77 of them) have emerged correctly. The system was formatted and re-installed to verify that the problem was not an isolated incident. make: Warning: File `configure.ac' has modification time 2.4e+06 s in the future cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/libtool-1.5.16/work/libtool-1.5.16/missing --run automake-1.9 --gnu cd . && /bin/sh /var/tmp/portage/libtool-1.5.16/work/libtool-1.5.16/missing --run autoconf /bin/sh ./config.status --recheck running /bin/sh ./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib CFLAGS=-O3 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe CXXFLAGS=-O3 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer -pipe host_alias=i686-pc-linux-gnu --enable-ltdl-install --no-create --no-recursion configure: WARNING: If you wanted to set the --build type, don't use --host.

Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run emerge --emptytree system Actual Results: The emerge happens fine up until the sys-dev/libtool-1.5.16 package. Thereafter the emerge loops infinitely as described above. Expected Results: The software should emerge correctly and not attempt to remake the config file each time.

your clock is/was screwed at some point run `rm -r /var/tmp/portage`, verify your clock is sane, and then try again
