Attachments:	output from "emerge info" for my x86 chroot

Description Scott Alfter 2007-07-02 08:24:18 UTC

While building prc-tools inside an x86 chroot (since it won't build on AMD64), I get the following:

Configuring in opcodes
configure: warning: target_alias=m68k-palmos: invalid host type
loading cache ../config.cache
checking for Cygwin environment... no
checking for mingw32 environment... no
configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time
make[2]: *** [configure-opcodes] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/prc-tools-2.3-r2/work/build/m68k-palmos/binutils'
make[1]: *** [real-binutils] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/prc-tools-2.3-r2/work/build/m68k-palmos'
make: *** [m68k-palmos] Error 2

Some other bug reports suggested that eliminating -march=xxx from CFLAGS might help, but that made no difference for me.

Reproducible: Always

Nominated for removal

"The prc-tools project currently consists of patches to binutils, gdb, and GCC to support Palm OS, along with several post-linker tools." 

I do not see how we can even consider keeping a 5 year old patchset around, clearly these patches need to be updated to keep up with upstream gcc, etc.

-current release is 5 years old
-this bug alone is 1+ years old
-no maintainer

plz vote
