Description Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-03-02 14:03:12 UTC 
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

  +open-vm-tools-0.0.20090618.172495-r1.ebuild, metadata.xml:
  Fixes bugs 273211, 270433, 260878. Hardcoded procpc, Werror, general
  ebuild clean up and missing dependencies. USE flags are added: doc, fuse.
  However, vmblock-fuse still needs init script changes.

Upstream actually relay on Werror in configure.
Please see upstream bug:

Thanks.

Will filter Werror in Makefile instead of configure.
