build.log for postgresql-server-9.3.0

Hello,
I'm unable to compile the latest postgresql-server-9.3.0 (postgresql-base-9.3.0 and server-9.2.4 compile fine). My complete build log is attached and the portion with the compile error and emerge --info output is below.

Please let me know if you have any ideas or need any more information.
Thanks, Robert

Please try using a stable gcc. I am unable to reproduce this.

Thanks, but I get nearly the same error using gcc 4.6.3 (Gentoo 4.6.3 p1.11, pie-0.5.2).

pg_basebackup.o: In function `BaseBackup':
pg_basebackup.c:(.text+0x18d9): undefined reference to `tarCreateHeader'
pg_basebackup.c:(.text+0x1aa1): undefined reference to `escape_single_quotes_ascii'

However, after some trial and error, I was able to "fix" the problem by setting USE="-xml", which then leads to a successful installation. Since I don't need XML support, this solution is fine for my needs.

[Comment 3 Aaron W. Swenson 2013-09-20 14:19:40 UTC]

I still can't reproduce this issue. Which version of dev-libs/libxml2 and dev-libs/libxslt do you have installed?
