Description Daniel Schömer 2011-07-13 16:37:02 UTC

When cross-compiling, sys-apps/groff-1.21 fails to configure included gnulib due for cross-compiling.

This happens with CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and CHOST="armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi-emerge =sys-apps/groff-1.21
Actual Results:  
[...]
checking whether we are cross compiling... configure: error: in `/usr/armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/tmp/portage/sys-apps/groff-1.21/work/groff-1.21/src/libs/gnulib':
configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs.
If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

 * 
 * Call stack:
 *     ebuild.sh, line  56:  Called src_compile
 *   environment, line 2756:  Called die
 * The specific snippet of code:

 * 
 * If you need support, post the output of 'emerge --info =sys-apps/groff-1.21',
 * the complete build log and the output of 'emerge -pqv =sys-apps/groff-1.21'.
 * The complete build log is located at '/usr/armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/tmp/portage/sys-apps/groff-1.21/temp/build.log'.
 * The ebuild environment file is located at '/usr/armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/tmp/portage/sys-apps/groff-1.21/temp/environment'.
 * S: '/usr/armv5tel-softfloat-linux-gnueabi/tmp/portage/sys-apps/groff-1.21/work/groff-1.21'


Expected Results:
