Bug 823848 – x11-base/xorg-server Don't know how to translate i486.. for rust

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO

[Description billylustig 2021-11-15 17:29:09 UTC]

after successfully installing gentoo in my x41 Thinkpad I though It would be nice to have a desktop environment. I did consider that while configuring the kernel. 

when trying to install:

'emerge --ask x11-base/xorg-server' 

I run into an error happening when installing

'spidermonkey-78.14.0:gentoo'

after looking into 

'/var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/spidermonkey-78.14.0/temp/build.log'

I find what appears to be the real cause behind the problem. 

'Error: Don't know how to translate i486-pc-linux-gnu for rust'

I wonder:

1.- Is there a way to influence the value of the flag: i486-pc-linux-gnu, so it matches something that rust is available for? 

2.- Are there any workarounds to solve this?

Thank you for the report. We need to have all information at hand before ticket assignment. Please provide

We can not help you efficiently via bug tracker. The bug tracker aims rather on specific problems in .ebuilds and less on individual systems. 

I have had very good experience on the gentoo IRC [1] with questions like this. Of course there are also forums and mailing lists [2,3].
I hope you understand, that I will close the bug here therefore and wish you good luck on one of the mentioned channels [4].
Please reopen the ticket in order to provide an indication for an specific error in an ebuild or any gentoo related product.
