Carlos could you attach full build.log?

I can't find a build.log even after emergeing it again, where is it supposed to be located?

it seems I missed a couple of lines below what I pasted before.

Just below the !WX messages there were the following 2 lines:

removing executable bit: usr/lib/librrd.la
removing executable bit: usr/lib/librrd_th.la

[Comment 3 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2009-05-25 21:47:12 UTC]

Just emerge package with FEATURES=noclean and then you'll find build.log at 
/var/tmp/portage/net-analyzer/rrdtool-1.2.29/temp/build.log

Also does this happen with rrdtool-1.3.x?

[Comment 4 Carlos Camacho 2009-05-26 04:27:50 UTC]

build.log for rrdtool-1.3.7

[Comment 6 Ihar Hrachyshka 2009-09-05 13:54:51 UTC]

Can't reproduce for 1.2.29 and 1.3.7 (amd64).

[Comment 7 Peter Volkov (RETIRED) 2009-10-26 13:28:51 UTC]

Looks like this is arm specific thing. Guys have you seen this problem previously? Is this bug reproducible for you?

[Comment 8 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2009-12-10 17:59:18 UTC]

Can't check it right now, but this doesn't have too much to do with rrdtool.

Also iirc this doesn't show up anymore with gcc-4.3 on arm

[Comment 9 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) 2010-01-23 18:27:05 UTC]

Carlos, do you still have the issue with gcc-4.3?
