During the build process, dbus-glib compiles a new libdbus-glib-1.so.3.0 - but then tries to execute binaries which rely on the new features of this library which have library paths hardcoded to ${EPREFIX}/usr/$(get_libdir) before installing the library in that location. This means that a fresh install of dbus-glib will succeed, whereas an upgrade will fail (unless the build library is copied over the installed library). It's s shame that the library minor version wasn't bumped when the API was changed... If dbus-glib is already installed, the build-process fails with: Making all in tools make[2]: Entering directory `/usr/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.82/work/dbus-glib-0.82/tools' ../dbus/dbus-binding-tool --mode=glib-client --prefix=dbus_bus --output=dbus-glib-bindings.h dbus-bus-introspect.xml 17443313:/usr/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.82/work/dbus-glib-0.82/dbus/.libs/dbus-binding-tool: rld: Fatal Error: attempted access to unresolvable symbol in /usr/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.82/work/dbus-glib-0.82/dbus/.libs/dbus-binding-tool: dbus_g_signature_get_g_type make[2]: *** [dbus-glib-bindings.h] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.82/work/dbus-glib-0.82/tools' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/opt/gentoo/var/tmp/portage/dev-libs/dbus-glib-0.82/work/dbus-glib-0.82' make: *** [all] Error 2 ... also, on IRIX at least, the ebuild fails with USE="test" due to many unresolvable symbols... although this may be because dbus-glib assumes the latest version of glib (2.22.2?), whereas the last to build successfully on IRIX was 2.20.5.

@Dennis: What you report is a totally different bug. If you don't want it to get lost, please report a new bug with your cross-compilation problem. This bug is about a non-cross IRIX specific build problem.
We are sorry to close this bug. We lack the man-power and devotion to support mips-irix in the tree.
