As far as I can tell from running the libtool command manually with --debug instead of --silent as transcripted during the emerge, it's trying to do a hard link from $PORTAGE_TMPDIR to something in /usr/share. This obviously doesn't work across partitions, and since the link is some sort of a lock the build process gets stuck in a sleep/test loop. A workaround: mkdir /usr/share/Temporary PORTAGE_TMPDIR=/usr/share/Temporary emerge apr-util; rm -rf /usr/share/Temporary Portage 2.1_pre7-r5 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r1, 2.6.16-rc6 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.16-rc6 i686 AMD Athlon(TM) XP 1600+ Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre17 distcc[14054] (dcc_trace_version) distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu; built Jan 6 2006 13:38:20 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5-r2, 2.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r1, 2.6.11-r5 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=athlon-xp -march=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mtune=athlon-xp -march=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/data/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distcc distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" LC_ALL="en_US.utf-8" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage_packages.aurigae" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/data/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X Xaw3d a52 aac acpi acpi4linux alsa apm avi berkdb bitmap-fonts cli crypt cups dri dts dvd dvdread eds emboss encode f77 font-server foomaticdb fortran gdbm gif gnome gnomedb gpm gstreamer gtk gtk2 imlib ipv6 isdnlog java javamail jpeg kde libg++ libwww live mad mikmod mmx mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcre pdflib perl png ppds pppd python qt quicktime readline real reflection sdl session spell spl sse ssl tcltk tcpd theora truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts unicode v4l vorbis win32codecs xml2 xmms xv zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_radeon" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
