Hello,

you're receiving this canned bug because the package in summary uses the flag -Werror during build, which transforms warnings in errors, and is prone to break software when new GCC releases are added to Gentoo.

Please make sure your package does not use -Werror during build, so that it can be more future-proof for the new GCC releases.

Thanks,
Diego

The flag can be removed by putting the following line into src_unpack():
sed -i 's/-Werror//' {tpmd_dev,tpm_dev,tddl,tpmd}/Makefile

I'll try to contact upstream and see if I can separate devel and end-user build targets.

No longer relevant with 0.5.1, as it was fixed upstream.
