• Product: Gentoo/Alt
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Rabbe Fogelholm 2011-06-15 10:07:49 UTC]

Platform is SUSE Enterprise 11 SP0. Bootstrapping fails at the `./bootstrap-prefix.sh $EPREFIX/tmp tar' step. Console output is:

As a workaround, you can try to add -Wl,-z,muldefs to LDFLAGS

Or bootstrap "tar22"

[Comment 3 Rabbe Fogelholm 2011-06-15 14:17:54 UTC]

I tried "tar22", seems to work fine.

Still a problem with tar-1.26?

Sorry, I don't have access to the SUSE Enterprise 11 SP0 host anymore.
