(Running ~x86 for glibc, gcc, portage, gnome.) Ruby-1.8.4 has a clash of definition for eaccess() in glibc-2.4, which has changed definition in unistd.h. Fixed upstream in cvs. This leads to serious issues developing C++ <-> ruby programs (with SWIG). Uploading patch and ebuild, next. Note that the patch should be good for older versions of glibc, as it adds eaccess to the AC_CHECK_FUNCS in configure.in, and does all other appropriate magic. More details here: http://blade.nagaokaut.ac.jp/cgi-bin/scat.rb/ruby/ruby-core/7195 and here: http://www.atdot.net/~ko1/w3ml/w3ml.cgi/ruby-cvs/msg/16358 Patch is an amalgam of the cvs changes from the second link.

Created attachment 82636 [details] ruby-1.8.4-r1.ebuild - patch - eautoreconf
Created attachment 82637 [details, diff] ruby-1.8.4-glibc24-eaccess.diff patch for glibc-2.4 / eaccess() issues
So this should be fixed with ruby-1.8.4.20060226 ?
The fix got into cvs on the 25th, so a cvs pull from thej 26 would likely be good, yes. The patch just to fix eaccess() problem is pretty innocuous. Not sure what a cvs pull is otherwise going to drag in.
I went ahead and bumped to -r2. Thanks for the patch.
