Check/attach config.log.

Sorry, I forgot that bit. It's attached now.

Just come up with this bug.  Gentoo Prefix on macosx does not have a libc.  The mechanism of sandbox will not work here.

IIRC, the mechanism sandbox uses is LD_PRELOADing in combination with runtime linking. FWIW, I don't believe this has anything to do with having the libc - as long as the host libc supports runtime linking.

FWIF, libc on OSX is called libSystem.

sandbox is seatbelt on OSX.  Portage even knows it.
