Created attachment 87114 [details, diff] coreutils-5.95-xcompile-powerpc.patch
looks like this has been fixed upstream already in the same way: revision 1.68 date: 2006-03-27 02:34:48 -0500; author: meyering; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1 (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's use of strtod. Tiny patch from Nickolai Zeldovich. added that patch to our 5.96 patchset
(In reply to comment #2) > added that patch to our 5.96 patchset Excellent, though it doesn't seem to be present in the 5.96 patchset: patch $ grep -r POW_LIB . ./selinux/001_all_coreutils-selinux.patch: sort_LDADD = $(LDADD) $(POW_LIB)
What's the deal SpanKY? We're at coreutils-5.97 and this patch is still nowhere to be found in Portage nor has it been handled upstream.
Nevermind, it's in the separate patch tarball. :)
i dont know where you're looking but you obviously need to try harder http://sources.gentoo.org/gentoo/src/patchsets/coreutils/5.96/generic/110_all_coreutils-uptime-libm.patch http://sources.gentoo.org/gentoo/src/patchsets/coreutils/5.97/generic/110_all_coreutils-uptime-libm.patch coreutils$ cvs log -r1.68 src/Makefile.am | tail -n 5 revision 1.68 date: 2006-03-27 02:34:48 -0500; author: meyering; state: Exp; lines: +2 -1 (uptime_LDADD): Add $(POW_LIB), for uptime's use of strtod.
