i use LDFLAGS="-O4" to optimize the linker... all other ebuilds like it only samba doesn't... commenting this flags all gone. In some way the flag is propagated at the setup.py that rightly doesn't know this entry. All other version i tried (since gentoo 2005.0) of samba suffer of this problem, and i don't remember all the times i forgot to re-uncomment the flags :-( LIBS="-O4 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib -lcrypt -lresolv -lnsl -ldl -lldap -llber -lldap -llber " \ python python/setup.py build Unknown entry '-O4' in $LIBS variable passed to setup.py make: *** [python_ext] Error 1 !!!

Feel free to remove -O4 or whatever other cruft from there...
i think removing the flag is most a workaround... in effect there isn't any "gcc-related" compile error there's only problem when the flag is passed to the python setup app. This beaviour it's very hateful when you have a long emerge sequence to do containing samba, like an emerge -uDN world, or a simply emerge gnome in a fresh gentoo installation. If you don't have time to stay hours seeing compiling only for commenting a line in make.conf before emerging samba you are forced to compile all other stuff without this optimization... Gentoo is all about choices, isn't it? ;-) Somebody knows how to patch the makefile avoiding pass LDFLAGS to the python plugin? PS Can we reopen bug?
(In reply to comment #2) > Gentoo is all about choices, isn't it? ;-) Sure, our choice is to not bother with fixing self-inflicted borkage. > Somebody knows how to patch the makefile avoiding pass LDFLAGS to the python > plugin? > > PS Can we reopen bug? No... Besides, you won't get any error if you'll setup your LDFLAGS properly (i.e., -Wl,-O4)
