what patch did you install?
it's sys-devel/patch-2.5.9-r1
are you still bootstrapping, or did you just upgrade patch?
Yes I am still bootstrapping... This patch package is installed when I emerge -e system. After got this issue, I have to doing these commands to continue emerge -e system: 1. emerge -C patch 2. emerge --resume And the solaris os is Nexenta (elatte_alpha7_i386)
ah... that's not solaris, but an opensolaris variant ;) The problem looks like what Solaris/Sparc has with patch. Can you try emerging patch-2.5.4* and see if the problem resists?
patch-2.5.4-r5 dos not has this issue, it works great.
I have to make a nexenta profile before I can mask it for nexenta users then.
Now I am using profile sunos/solaris/5.10/x86. And I think we need a sunos/solaris/5.11/x86, not a sunos/nexenta/5.11/x86, because the future solaris will based on nexenta just like redhat based on fedora, and the original file names for cpp/g++/gcc in nexenta's /bin are: i386-pc-solaris2.11-cpp/i386-pc-solaris2.11-g++/i386-pc/solaris2.11-gcc Ignore this if I am wrong.
isn't nexenta some Debian/Ubuntu crippled version of OpenSolaris? I don't know why, but these GNU/Solaris variants manage to break many compilations for a not yet clear reason.
I can't fix this, as I don't have the hardware/access.
