build.log

This is somehow related bug #658846 but applies to systems using ucblic-ng which does hot has builtin support for obstack (https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Hardened_uClibc#Upgrade_to_.3Dsys-libs.2Fuclibc-ng-1.0.22). Compilation of cronie with anacron USE flag enabled fails during linking due to undefined references to obstack functions.

A patch to resolve this issue appears to be trivial and is similar to the musl-related steps in the ebuild. I've attached a proposal for the ebuild of version 1.5.4-r1. In principle, it should work with 1.5.5 as well.

What about cronie-1.5.5? Same patch required with that version?

Yes, the patch is required for that version as well. Essentially, the same changes are required to successfully build cronie-1.5.5 with uclibc-ng
