Comment 1 bigfoot 2012-09-28 03:46:13 UTC
I can confirm the same thing with at least qt-core and mpg123 (along with imlib2) and possibly more.  So it's definitely not just an imlib2 issue.  Still not sure what is causing it, but I wanted to chime in with what I have found so far.  I'm continuing to look.
Comment 2 dwfreed 2012-09-28 04:33:22 UTC
This error message comes from this commit: http://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-x86/eclass/toolchain-funcs.eclass?r1=1.117&r2=1.118 which is from bug #432390

As far as I can tell, this commit breaks every ebuild that uses tc-arch() or tc-arch-kernel() from toolchain-funcs without inheriting kernel-2 or linux-info.

As a workaround until a fix is pushed, set KV to the output of uname -r when running portage, like so:

KV=$(uname -r) emerge -NDuav world
Comment 3 gilhad 2012-09-28 05:39:38 UTC
dwfreed: does not work for me :(

But it is probabelly result of the bug you mentioned. 
I tried to do (in /usr/portage/gentoo/eclass/toolchain-funcs.eclass):

+    KV=`uname -r`
    local KV=${KV:-${KV_FULL}}

and it worked for me (but REALLY slowed down the initial emerge phase with rotating dash -/|\)
Comment 4 Albert Veli 2012-09-28 08:08:14 UTC
I have the same problem trying to emerge qt-core. The workaround from gilhad works (to put KV=`uname -r` into toolchain-funcs.eclass). But it slows down emerge. I hope this will be fixed soon, before a lot of users gets breakage :)
Comment 5 iGentoo 2012-09-28 09:36:44 UTC
media-libs/libmad-0.15.1b-r7: the same error.
Comment 6 iGentoo 2012-09-28 09:40:49 UTC
Created attachment 325174 [details, diff]
detect KV, workaround
Comment 7 kfm 2012-09-28 09:56:15 UTC
I would suggest that Alphat-PC attach the amended patch to bug 432390 and that this bug be marked as a duplicate. As imlib2 is far from being the only package affected, there seems little to be gained in spreading the discussion across multiple bugs.
Comment 8 Robert Piasek (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-09-28 14:31:22 UTC
It also breaks catalyst stage building
Comment 9 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-09-28 14:41:00 UTC
Setting KV to uname -r isn't a good idea imo ; the whole idea behind this was to get the kernel version properly according to the eclasses that can do this (kernel-2 or otherwise).

I added the ||die because the output of tc-arch-kernel is wrong/undefined when KV is unset, and this has been going on for a while.  Things "just work" on x86/amd64 because the kernel config itself maps the (invalid/undefined) value returned by tc-arch-kernel to the correct one, but it doesn't for arches like ppc/ppc64 (ie mapping them to 'powerpc').

However, if it is pereferrable this could be changed to an eqawarn and not be fatal.

I think making it non-fatal would be the better way to go than setting KV on 'uname -r' by default.
Comment 10 Ian Stakenvicius (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2012-09-28 15:11:00 UTC
Marking as duplicate, as requested.  Also, just committed a fix to make the warning non-fatal and only be displayed when arch type check is 'kern' since that's the only time KV seems to matter.
