I tried to compile lirc on x86-64 but it always ended up in an error while linking: /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O2 -march=nocona -pipe -version-info 2:0:2 -m elf_x86_64 -o liblirc_client.la -rpath /usr/lib64 lirc_client.lo x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared .libs/lirc_client.o -march=nocona -m -Wl,-soname -Wl,liblirc_client.so.0 -o .libs/liblirc_client.so.0.2.0 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: unrecognised emulation mode: -Wl,-soname Supported emulations: elf_x86_64 elf_i386 i386linux collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [liblirc_client.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1/work/lirc-0.8.3pre1/tools' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1/work/lirc-0.8.3pre1' make: *** [all] Error 2 * * ERROR: app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 4033: Called linux-mod_src_compile * environment, line 3124: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * eval "emake HOSTCC=\"$(tc-getBUILD_CC)\" CC=\"$(get-KERNEL_CC)\" LDFLAGS=\"$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)\" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS} " || die "Unable to emake HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" CC="$(get-KERNEL_CC)" LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}"; * The die message: * Unable to emake HOSTCC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc LDFLAGS=-m elf_x86_64 all * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1/temp/environment'. * * Messages for package app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1: * Compiling support for a lot of devices * Setting default lirc-device to /dev/lirc0 * * ERROR: app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 4033: Called linux-mod_src_compile * environment, line 3124: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * eval "emake HOSTCC=\"$(tc-getBUILD_CC)\" CC=\"$(get-KERNEL_CC)\" LDFLAGS=\"$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)\" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS} " || die "Unable to emake HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" CC="$(get-KERNEL_CC)" LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}"; * The die message: * Unable to emake HOSTCC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CC=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc LDFLAGS=-m elf_x86_64 all * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant. * A complete build log is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1/temp/build.log'. * The ebuild environment file is located at '/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.8.3_pre1/temp/environment'. * * disabling confcache, binary cannot be found I could track this down to lirc's aclocal.m4 which imply "-m elf_x86_64".
