Description Joe M 2015-11-27 14:44:59 UTC

When the java use flag is not set, the gettext configure still checks for javac executable.

When the use flag is -java, it should probably do ./configure --disable-java --disable-native-java 

Reproducible: Always

with -java, the current configuration does ./configure --disable-java. It does not have --disable-native-java though

i don't know what you're trying to report here.  the ebuild correctly passes --enable-java/--disable-java based on USE=java.  the --xxx-native-java flag is irrelevant -- it is used only when --disable-java is not used.

passing --enable-java --enable-native-java is redundant, as is --disable-java --disable-native-java, and --disable-java --enable-native-java does nothing.  the only combo that matters is --enable-java --disable-native-java, but that's to disable bytecode, and we don't care about that case currently.
