Description Jon 2009-09-11 05:27:47 UTC

I am currently in a chrooted environment because my system files got all off-kilter in the middle of a world emerge. I'm almost able to at least emerge -e system, but I can't get past this one.

Call stack:
 *               ebuild.sh, line   49:  Called src_compile
 *             environment, line 2537:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:
 *               emake || die
 *  The die message:
 *   (no error message)

You need libz.so.1 from somewhere to get past this.
Try downloading this:
http://tinderbox.dev.gentoo.org/default-linux/x86/sys-libs/zlib-1.2.3-r1.tbz2
and in / of your chroot tar -xzf it. It's a dirty hack and I don't know for sure that it will work because you chose to go with the i486 CHOST (probably used the generic x86 stage 3?). But it's better than nothing.
Anyway, bug is not on our end. INVALID.
