It is built here (line 269 in my /usr/bin/libtool and the unchanged in the package's version): export_symbols_cmds="\$NM \$libobjs \$convenience | \$global_symbol_pipe | \$SED 's/.* //' | sort | uniq > \$export_symbols" The problem is pretty obvious. This line is in the libtool the package is using to build. /usr/bin/libtool has stuff in the quotes so it doesn't have this problem: global_symbol_pipe="" Either something needs to be in there or the global_symbol_pipe part needs to be taken out of export_symbols_cmds. I don't know much about libtool so I'm leaving this for someone else. I've had several packages fail to compile repeatedly because of this. Packages affected include: net-libs/libupnp-1.6.0 gnome-base/libgnome-2.20.1.1 gnome-base/libgnomeui-2.20.1.1 gnome-base/gnome-vfs-2.20.1 net-misc/neon-0.26.4 and I think some others. I've tried several different versions of portage, including stable and testing. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: try to emerge the packages.
