Description Todd Goodman 2018-02-02 18:44:06 UTC

I get the following message trying to build the kernel linux-4.15.0-gentoo from gentoo-sources:

Makefile:932: *** "Cannot generate ORC metadata for CONFIG_UNWINDER_ORC=y, please install libelf-dev, libelf-devel or elfutils-libelf-devel".  Stop.

I'm doing a 'make' in the /usr/src/linux directory.

Emerging libelf allows the build to succeed

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install gcc-7.3.0
2.emerge sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-4.15.0:4.15.0
3.copy old .config and do a make oldconfig and then a make
Actual Results:  
Error listed above is displayed and kernel compile aborts

Expected Results:  
Kernel is built

emerging dev-libs/libelf-0.8.13-r2:0 allows the kernel build to succeed
