Bug 259282 – gcc-3.3.6 fails to compile with "call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared with attribute error"

• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 256638
• Product: Gentoo Linux

This is a fresh ~x86 install of 2008.0

When trying to install mozilla-thunderbird-bin, gcc-3.3.6 gets pulled in as a dependency of virtual/libstdc++-3.3. It then fails to compile with the following errors:

[...]

[...]

BTW: The same error occurs when trying to compile pilot-link, which I worked around by disabling the pda USE flag, so it wouldn't get installed.

It seems that there has been an API change in fcntl2.h, which belongs to glibc (sys-libs/glibc-2.9_p20081201-r1 on my system), that older code is not aware of.
