This is an auto-filled bug because app-admin/metalog fails to compile.
The issue was originally discovered on amd64, but it may be reproducible on other arches as well.
If you think that a different summary clarifies the issue better, feel free to change it.
Attached build log and emerge --info.

Please provide explicit version. For me metalog-20200113-r1 builds just fine.

Cheers, Simon

It’s in the log: app-admin/metalog-3-r2.

But you’re right, this is an insane error and more info is needed. ago, is it reproducible?

Was this system genuinely able to build much at all? I doubt it.

Clearly, some misdirection is occurring.
