Description eric sammer 2003-07-31 00:24:16 UTC

After unpacking the latest stage 1 tarball for PPC, there is no
(/mnt/gentoo)/etc/make.conf example file. I pulled a copy of /etc/make.conf from
the livecd (latest version - 1.4 rc4 7, IIRC), and it appears to be a copy of
one of the developer's make.conf files. The USE flags are "-* sdl ipv6", the
mirror is statically set to <blah>.be, all comments are stripped, his / her
proxy is set, and -fsigned-char is set in CFLAGS (which causes problems while
building gcc, IIRC). This makes setting up a proper make.conf extremely
difficult unless you know about portage.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:



Expected Results:  
A sample make.conf should be supplied as was the case with x86 stages, in the past.

This is already fixed in rc8 stages, 1.4 final stages (without the make.conf or gcc-config problem) are on the mirrors today

A workaround is to emerge portage (which installs a new make.conf)
