Description Anton 2017-11-10 23:31:12 UTC

The support for RPC in glibc is to go away [1, 2] and it seems that dev-perl/Ace implicitly depends on it.

The way this dependence manifested itself for me was a build failure on a Gentoo Prefix on Mac -- which does not have glibc installed and uses the Apple's libc library instead. (The problem was not finding rpcgen binary, details to be attached) Emerging net-libs/rpcsvc-proto fixed this particular build failure -- however a generic solution is discussed in detail in [2]

The ebuild file used

The ebuild had to be modified slightly for Prefix-specific reasons. The change is the generation of "DARWIN_DEF" file within src_prepare(). That file defines the compiler and linker commands to be used on a Darwin (i.e. MacOS) system, and will be included by the Makefile. See https://bugs.gentoo.org/637102
