The emulation packages are mainly created for software with-in the Portage tree. Every once in a while libs get added to them by user request for software outside of the tree. The difference between these two are the level of support you can expect to get. You can't really expect Gentoo AMD64 developers to download arbitrary propietary software outside of the Portage tree, and try to make the emul- packages work with them. Instead, you need to provide the exact data what is wrong in the emul- packages. I'll wait for input from others before closing this as 'CANTFIX'. The main problem with this is how to provide the data. I´d like to provide the exact data what is wrong with the package, but this was all I was able to get yet. So if someone could tell me how to find out or just has an idea what may be wrong... (In reply to comment #3) > The main problem with this is how to provide the data.

Sounds like you should have started this with http://forums.gentoo.org/ post instead. Please reopen once you have gathered enough data to process this bug. We only build emul packages for packages in the tree, otherwise emul set could grow a lot and, also, would be impossible for us to test nothing breaks for them. Regarding this issue, I think that will be really difficult to solve this as I cannot find what is failing in strace output, and the only difference between that emul-linux-x86-baselibs versions are version bumps applied in main tree (that packages are the same than stable "x86" at the time emul set is prepared) (As a side note, I have seen you are setting really racer CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, maybe they don't cause this problem, but could cause others, you should downgrade them a lot) |
