Description Chetan Reddy 2010-06-03 18:21:50 UTC

While bootstrapping on a 64-bit rhel4 system (with a newer kernel), i got to the "env FEATURES="-collision-protect" emerge --oneshot portage" stage. This pulled in python, but couldn't build because Modules/python.c depends uses PR_SET_NAME on linux which isn't available on rhel4's /usr/include/linux/prctl.h
To work around this, i had to emerge the linux-headers package before i could install python.


Reproducible: Always

I think this is a dupe of #317937

Well, on rhel4 you just need to install linux-headers and all is well. In bug 317937, that workaround doesn't happen so easily. eg. <sys/prctl.h> vs <linux/prctl.h> or glibc vs linux-headers. Depends on how you want to look at it. :)

One more note: It would probably solve this bug if dev-lang/python just rdepend'd on sys-kernel/linux-headers.
