FEATURES="stricter" and/or using a developer profile? :)

[Comment 3 SpanKY 2010-01-12 23:38:57 UTC]

the 64bit check is always applied to people, not just random profiles.  then again, we'd know that if there was `emerge --info` which the wranglers should have asked for ... but i guess they dont really do much anymore.

Gary: please post the full build log as an attachment as well as `emerge --info`.  the build works fine on my 64bit systems.

Here's the requested build.log

[Comment 5 Gary 2010-01-14 15:19:48 UTC]

Also the profile I'm using  is default/linux/amd64/10.0

[Comment 6 SpanKY 2010-01-14 22:40:29 UTC]

i dont want the profile, i want `emerge --info` please

tfind/tsearch should be in /usr/include/search.h which should be coming from glibc.  make sure your search.h is sane:
echo '#include <search.h>' | gcc -E -

it should be from /usr/include/search.h and both funcs should be listed

Here's the emerge --info

[Comment 8 Gary 2010-01-14 23:04:52 UTC]

And I ran the command (echo '#include <search.h>' | gcc -E -) and got search.h output which included the following tsearch/tfind info.

...
/* Search for an entry matching the given KEY in the tree pointed to
   by *ROOTP and insert a new element if not found.  */
extern void *tsearch (__const void *__key, void **__rootp,
              __compar_fn_t __compar);

/* Search for an entry matching the given KEY in the tree pointed to
   by *ROOTP.  If no matching entry is available return NULL.  */
extern void *tfind (__const void *__key, void *__const *__rootp,
            __compar_fn_t __compar);

/* Remove the element matching KEY from the tree pointed to by *ROOTP.  */
extern void *tdelete (__const void *__restrict __key,
              void **__restrict __rootp,
              __compar_fn_t __compar);

[Comment 9 SpanKY 2010-01-14 23:40:17 UTC]

then go into the build directory and the gettext-runtime/intl/ subdir and run the command but with -E

x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -std=gnu99 -DLOCALEDIR=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DLOCALE_ALIAS_PATH=\"/usr/share/locale\" -DLIBDIR=\"/usr/lib64\" -DBUILDING_LIBINTL -DBUILDING_DLL -DIN_LIBINTL -DENABLE_RELOCATABLE=1 -DIN_LIBRARY -DINSTALLDIR=\"/usr/lib64\" -DNO_XMALLOC -Dset_relocation_prefix=libintl_set_relocation_prefix -Drelocate=libintl_relocate -DDEPENDS_ON_LIBICONV=1 -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I../../gettext-runtime/intl -I.. -O2 -pipe -march=nocona -fvisibility=hidden ../../gettext-runtime/intl/dcigettext.c  -fPIC -DPIC -o dcigettext.i -E -dD

then post the dcigettext.i file as an attachment

and the mystery is solved ;)

Can you be a little more specific here? Each and every package was installed w/ portage in no special way, and emerging this package ... is user error?

[Comment 13 Gary 2010-01-20 17:38:50 UTC]

Don't understand the fix.

[Comment 14 SpanKY 2010-01-21 04:53:09 UTC]

nothing in gentoo installs into /usr/local
