during the configure phase of dev-lang, the fseeko, ftello and _LARGE_FILESOURCE value needed for large file checks are not coherent, leading to bugs in IO#seek method with whence SEEK_CUR, and leading to infinite loop on installation of rubygems! ( actually, my desire was to install rubygems ) I presume that it's probably not due to the ebuild but on other dependencies... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge =ruby-1.8.5_p2 ( or 1.8.6_r1 ) Actual Results: configure logs: checking for working memcmp... yes checking for _LARGEFILE_SOURCE value needed for large files... no checking for ftello... yes checking for dup2... yes ... Expected Results: configure logs done with ruby distfile: - manually on a sandbox - no patch applied ... checking for working memcmp... yes checking for _LARGEFILE_SOURCE value needed for large files... 1 checking for fseeko... yes checking for ftello... yes checking for dup2... yes ... equery g ruby gives: dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5_p2: `-- dev-lang/ruby-1.8.5_p2 `-- sys-libs/gdbm-1.8.3-r2 `-- sys-libs/db-4.2.52_p2-r1 [ berkdb ] `-- sys-devel/patch-2.5.9 [ !bootstrap ] `-- sys-devel/gnuconfig-20051223 `-- sys-libs/readline-5.0-r2 `-- sys-libs/ncurses-5.4-r6 `-- sys-libs/gpm-1.20.1-r4 [ gpm ] `-- app-shells/bash-3.0-r12 `-- dev-ruby/ruby-config-0.3.1 `-- sys-devel/automake-1.10 `-- dev-lang/perl-5.8.7-r3 `-- sys-devel/libperl-5.8.7 `-- sys-apps/groff-1.19.1-r2 [ !elibc_uclibc ] `-- sys-apps/texinfo-4.8-r2 `-- sys-devel/gettext-0.16.1 [ !build nls ] `-- virtual/libiconv-0 (virtual/libiconv) `-- dev-libs/expat-1.95.8 `-- sys-apps/man-1.6-r1 `-- app-admin/perl-cleaner-1.01 `-- sys-devel/automake-wrapper-3-r1 `-- sys-devel/autoconf-2.61 `-- sys-devel/m4-1.4.9 `-- sys-devel/autoconf-wrapper-4-r3 `-- sys-apps/help2man-1.33.1 `-- dev-perl/Locale-gettext-1.05 [ nls ] `-- perl-core/Test-Simple-0.62 `-- sys-devel/libtool-1.5.22
