Description Peter Farr 2004-12-27 06:19:52 UTC

The symptom is similar to bug 75137, but that is for an Alpha.

I a rebuilding my Toshiba Tecra S1 from scratch - repartitioned end empty hard drives - while running from a Knoppix CD. I have chosen to do a stage 1 build using Stage1-x86-2004.3.tar.bz. After the bootstrap completed I did "emerge system", which failed in the ncurses-5.4-r5 build - same messages as in 75137. The "gcc" command appears to be missing in the output:

make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4-r5/work/ncurses-5.4/c++'

 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/ncurses-5.4-r5/work/ncurses-5.4/c++' 
 make: *** [all] Error 2 

Some discussion on the forum lead me to removing the lines containing "unicode" from the ebuild files in the /var/tmp/portage directory, and this resolved the problem. The rest of the build was successful.

My make.conf at the time was:
CFLAGS="-O2 -march=i686 -fomit-frame-pointer"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"

I have since added "USE="-unicode", but I don't know if that has made any difference.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Wipe system
2. Follow instructions at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml 
Actual Results:  
emerge fails

you probably forgot to bootstrap
