"${S}/src/native/Makefile" is calling gcc directory. It makes error with cross-distcc env. I created a patch for that. Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge distcc crossdev && crossdev --target i686-pc-linux-gnu 2. /etc/init.d/distcc start 3. FEATURES="distcc" emerge libreadline-java
Created attachment 212892 [details, diff] libreadline-java-0.8.0-r3.patch
feel free to apply these things to our packages although in general I prefer using patches so we notice when things change and the patch doesn't apply any more
