• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

[Description Boris Fersing (RETIRED) 2004-08-05 15:00:46 UTC]

All worked fine before m4, maybe is this issue related with the previously merged binutils !

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.cd /usr/portage
2.scripts/bootstrap.sh
3.

Created attachment 36876 [details]
My config.log

this is the config.log, maybe can that help !

emerging m4 manually after emerging a pre-compiled binutils package (quickpkg from an other computer) works ! That's not a fix, just an information !

As I used to, I downloaded a x86 stage1 ... hum sorry !
