Patch to work around the problems.
This requires (a fairly recent version of?) gettext to be installed,
which is the case anyway because elfutils depends on it.
Hrm, I cannot reproduce it here even with your USE flags. More data, then. My gettext version is 0.14.2; the relevant files in /usr/share/aclocal (glibc21.m4 and uintmax_t.m4) do not differ from those in gettext-0.14.2.tar.gz. A search for the missing macros yields this: $ egrep -r AC_DEFUN.*AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T gettext-0.14.2/ gettext-0.14.2/gettext-runtime/m4/uintmax_t.m4:AC_DEFUN([gl_AC_TYPE_UINTMAX_T], $ egrep -r AC_DEFUN.*GLIBC21 gettext-0.14.2/ gettext-0.14.2/gettext-runtime/m4/glibc21.m4:AC_DEFUN([gl_GLIBC21], gettext-0.14.2/gettext-runtime/m4/ChangeLog says: > 2004-04-19 Bruno Haible <bruno@clisp.org> > > * gettext.m4: Change jm_ to gl_ in AC_DEFINE'd names. Update all uses. This would seem to be a likely cause for the errors, then. Is this whole thing some sort of mix-up on my system? Google yields very little regarding the macros problem and people apparently have fixed it by reinstalling stuff, but this doesn't seem to be a solution here. Regarding elfutils, it is my extremely humble opinion that the ebuild should either use a complete shipped set of .m4 files so that they're consistent, or none (and rely on those provided by gettext). With gettext being a dependency, the latter option seems preferable. However, if it works for everybody except myself as it is now, I don't insist on changing anything. i'm using gettext-0.14.2 and elfutils works fine for me too ... Well, OK. I don't have any ideas, but I do have a fix that works for now. Maybe it'll just go away in the next version. |
