Full build.log, thanks.
The original file has almost 5 MB, the gzipped or bzip2ed file have between 50 and 90 KB, but there are considered as empty by http://bugs.gentoo.org and not accepted, at least if I select binary file (application/octet-stream) as mime type. Now I put build.log.bz2 on webserver, it should be accessible as http://141.89.194.22/~rose/build.log.bz2 . Regards Juergen
Also could you post emerge --info
Is 'emerge --info =kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.4' in the original posting not enough?
It seems me that 'emerge kdelibs' with doc USE flag works at all my x86_64 systems but fails at i686 systems. At my last attempt to emerge kdelibs with doc USE flag at a i686 system I got a slightly different error: /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++ -fPIC -O2 -march=pentium4 -fomit-frame-pointer -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -ansi -Wundef -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wformat-security -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -Woverloaded-virtual -fno-threadsafe-statics -fvisibility=hidden -fvisibility-inlines-hidden -Wl,--enable-new-dtags -Wl,--fatal-warnings -Wl,--no-undefined -lc -Wl,-O1 -shared -Wl,-soname,libkio.so.5 -o ../lib/libkio.so.5.3.0 CMakeFiles/kio.dir/kio_automoc.o ... /usr/lib/qt4/libQtCore.so -lpthread -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib/qt4:/var/tmp/portage/kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.4/work/kdelibs-4.3.4_build/lib: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.4.2/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object. collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lib/libkio.so.5.3.0] Error 1

I've solved my similar problem but it was a strange problem. As I got the following error : warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object. collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [lib/libkio.so.5.3.0] Error I tried to find a library which wasn't PIC compiled with scanelf. But all my systems libraries are PIC. By looking the exact link command, I saw : * "-Wl,--fatal-warnings" option which explains the error because of a warning * "-Wl,-Bstatic -lacl -Wl,-Bdynamic" which seems to mean that libacl is statically linked, wheras all others are shared linked. Moreover, acl was updated from 2.2.47-r1 to 2.2.49 recently. After emerging the old sys-apps/acl-2.2.47-r1, the kdelibs compilation succeeded. I also tried to emerge again the acl-2.2.49 and this time, it still works.
I tried to follow the recipe of comment 7: emerging acl-2.2.47-r1 and then kdelibs. But it did not help. I got the same error. Even "USE=-doc emerge -v1 kdelibs" fails with this error.
It still fails at two i686 computers. root@vilm:/root(149)# emerge --info =kde-base/kdelibs-4.3.5 Portage 2.1.7.17 (default/linux/x86/10.0/desktop, gcc-4.4.2, glibc-2.11-r1, 2.6.30-gentoo-r5 i686)

Nobody has a hint?
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=302474#c13 I think the build should detect the presence of the symlink in pkg_pretend and tell the user to remove it if it's owned by any package.
Thanks Petteri, I found this link in between. Removing it solved also my problem.
(In reply to comment #12) > Thanks Petteri, I found this link in between. Removing it solved also my > problem. > It's merely a work around. The build should tell you what to do.
*** Bug 302474 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Fix for this should go into sys-apps/acl's ebuild with revision bump, but we already agreed with Mike to leave it alone (by mail). Do as you wish... not a KDE bug.
*** Bug 305611 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
packages should not be responsible for deleting symlinks it no longer installs portage guys: is this a known bug that is (hopefully) now fixed ?
(In reply to comment #17) > portage guys: is this a known bug that is (hopefully) now fixed ? According to bug 302474, comment #14 the file was an orphan created by gen_usr_ldscript. There's nothing portage can do about random orphans so it's best not to create them in the first place.
the comment you refer to does not indicate anything was done outside of src_*. gen_usr_ldscript operates entirely within src_* which means any symlinks created by it were within the realm of portage tracking them. the only definition of "orphan" where it is acl's fault for the dangling symlink is if it created the symlink in a pkg_* function. afaik, this has never happened.
Well, I've got no clue where the symlink came from. It's not a known portage issue, and not likely to be an unknown portage issue either.
(In reply to comment #20) > Well, I've got no clue where the symlink came from. It's not a known portage > issue, and not likely to be an unknown portage issue either. > no way to reproduce, noone is able to explain where it came from, only some 5 users have hit this (and resolved it local) afaict, not a problem in new installs either we do the dummy libacl bump with checking kludge, or we don't i'd say we leave it alone like we already agreed at one point...
What is the command to find orphaned symlinks on '/'? 'find / -type ...' ? I remember the script cruft. Perhaps it is time for a new find-bad-files-script...
You can use portageq owners, like this: find / -type l -print | while read ; do portageq owners / "$REPLY" || echo "$REPLY" >> /tmp/orphans done
My symlink was created years ago so it's hard to know what created it. I don't see a problem with detecting it in a revision bump of acl and asking users to nuke it.
if logic is going to be added to the ebuild, it's going to autoremove a dead symlink portage-utils' qfile provides an --orphans option
*** Bug 313559 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
just adding a me to. Hit this upgrading gcc (emerge -e world). The symlink on my system seems a bit newer than others. ls -l /lib/libacl.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jun 7 2009 /lib/libacl.a -> /usr/lib/libacl.a

I've had -pic in USE since may 2008 and this just became a problem when I tried (was forced) to update to kde4 Is it related or should I open another bug report ?
(In reply to comment #27) Also hit this when upgrading gcc. Mine is as dead as a dried codfish: ls -l /lib/libacl.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 17 Jun 7 2005 /lib/libacl.a -> /usr/lib/libacl.a
QA: Please voice your opinion. I think we should do something to stop people from hitting this. For example a sys-apps/acl revision bump detecting it and telling people to remove it.

well, it's been 4 years and no one really cares, and no one has reported this any time recently, so let's just punt
