Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev

2020-05-12 07:15:23 UTC

This is an auto-filled bug because app-text/uudeview calls ar directly.
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.

NOTE:
If you think it doesn't make sense fix these type of issues, I'd like to point out that won't be possible use a different AR implementation (like llvm-ar) by setting the AR variable. So this issue has been reproduced by setting the AR variable to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar and by removing the /usr/bin/ar binary.

This looks like the same fault as bug #723216, due to using the same base sources.

I already fixed that issue in: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/diff/dev-perl/Convert-UUlib/files/Convert-UUlib-1.71-tc-ar.patch?id=46d76f54d6fbf257d0f1233fbbf30b0bf0b564a3

However, the patch may need to be different for uudeview as it can't rely on AR being injected into Makefile's by Perl build tooling.
