I am running coreutils-5.94 on my other systems fine, but on this PIII emerge bailed in mid-update; any ./configure script with lines like --bindir=/bin would break, with errors like in bug 122601, 122583, etc.. but I had no locale set. Setting it to "C" didn't help. Kicking it up to be en_US (which is what it should be) didn't help either. cding into the /var/tmp/portage/.../work/../ directory and running ./configure without the "=" signs usually worked for the few packages I tried. Just copying a bin for /bin/expr from one of my Athlons worked to get emerge working and downgrading to 5.93 "fixed" things up. Compiler bug? I'm running gcc-3.4.5 on there, regular version (not hardened). Oh, contrary to what this emerge --info says, I was not running -j7 when this problem arose.. I was running MAKEOPTS="-j1" and 127.0.0.1 as my only distcc host, since the machine was offsite where distcc hosts are unavailable. # These settings were set by the catalyst build script that automatically built this stage # Please consult /etc/make.conf.example for a more detailed example CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium3 -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}" USE="alsa mmx offensive sse dvdread dvd dv encode gtk -svga v4l v4l2 xanim matroska win32codecs aac cups foomaticdb ppds usb gimpprint pic mjpeg threads xvid mysql mythtv plugin browserplugin nsplugin nptl insecure-savers ffmpeg a52 divx4linux fame subtitles cjk dvd dvdr cdr css crosscompile hal asf ieee1394 lirc" ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" FEATURES="fixpackages ccache distcc" ##DISTCC_HOSTS="127.0.0.1/1" DISTCC_HOSTS="127.0.0.1/1 192.168.0.1/2,lzo 192.168.0.7/2,lzo 192.168.0.9/2,lzo" ##MAKEOPTS="-j1" MAKEOPTS="-j7" SYNC=rsync://192.168.0.9/gentoo-portage ##SYNC="rsync://rsync.us.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo" #GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.mirrors.tds.net/gentoo http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://gentoo.netnitco.net" #GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.seren.com/gentoo" RSYNC_TIMEOUT="0" CCACHE_SIZE="1G"
