forgot to add that i did try to emerge ppp-2.4.3-r16 and had the same result
(In reply to comment #3) > same issue here, though this system hasn't been up for a week yet, seems kinda > similar to bug Bug 159896 ... but i'm nowhere near an expert :-D Appears to be so. Using -D_GNU_SOURCE to build if.c, as suggested by Spanky in that bug, pushes the compile through.
Created attachment 105368 [details, diff] Define _GNU_SOURCE in if.c Don't know if this is the Right Way to do it.
The patch in comment #6 works for me :)
adding #define _GNU_SOURCE 1 to if.c appears to have fixed the ebuild vomit issue for me, though kinda silly that it was something that i don't need/want that was breaking (no need for pppoe - not even build in the kernel or was a module), though i may have to wait till i'm home to use it

Fixed in 2.4.4-r4 by adding -D_GNU_SOURCE to CFLAGS. Thanks!
