Without EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-mpers"  configure fails with 

checking gnu/stubs-32.h usability... no
checking gnu/stubs-32.h presence... no

Its all in the Description

Expected Results:  
dev-util/strace-4.21 builds cleanly.

The ebuild should manage --disable-mpers for those arches that require it.

Comment 1 Dmitry V. Levin 2018-04-05 16:23:19 UTC

The recommended workaround for this issue is to configure using --enable-mpers=check option, see https://lists.strace.io/pipermail/strace-devel/2018-February/007924.html

    dev-util/strace: use --enable-mpers=check everywhere #649560
    
    We don't want to require full multilib toolchains everywhere, so
    allow the mpers logic to fail at configure time.  We'll still get
    a strace that handles native programs fine.
    
    This also fixes aarch64 builds where the toolchain has no support
    for multilib, and there are no plans to add it (i.e. armv7 with
    aarch64).
    
    Closes: https://bugs.gentoo.org/649560
