Description Émeric Maschino 2013-08-10 19:56:57 UTC

While trying to compile sys-apps/systemd, I'm getting error: redefinition of 'struct ia64_fpreg'.

[1] https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=480218

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Unmask systemd
2. emerge --ask systemd
3.
Actual Results:  
emerge --ask systemd failed during compile phase

Expected Results:  
emerge --ask systemd should successfully install systemd

I initially though this was a bug in systemd, and was asked to report upstream [1]. But comments there quickly oriented my research on glibc. I finally discovered this is indeed a known issue with glibc for 10 years now [2]. This also explains why systemd can be successfully compiled on Debian ia64, as they ship eglibc rather than glibc. While this glibc issue is there, other ebuilds may fail, hence the severity set to major as glibc is a central component of Gentoo Linux.
