After a recent emerge world, lirc stopped building, it seems to be eating the -m parameter. It's inheriting this from the current profile's make.defaults. I found a workaround by commenting out LDFLAGS in the profile's make.defaults, after that the package will compile and install correctly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.

This is not a lirc problem.
(In reply to comment #2) > This is not a lirc problem. After updating all the packages on my system lirc was the only one I came across with the problem. I've been looking around and it looks like this error crept in a few years ago, then something was done to remove it. Apparently it resurfaced again during this month.

i don't think this has anything to do with libtool flag sorting. the lirc build is mixing raw and unraw linker flags in LDFLAGS. you can only have it one way. the lirc ebuild most likely needs to invoke linux-mod.eclass' helpers *only* for the kernel modules (i.e. stuff under drivers/), and otherwise run `make` for the userland tools (i.e. stuff under daemons/tools/etc...).
I'm getting a similar error with lirc and gcc. /bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=link x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O3 -march=bdver1 -pipe -I/usr/include/tirpc -m elf_x86_64 -o irrecord irrecord.o config_file.o dump_config.o input_map.o transmit.o libhw_module.a receive.o libtool: link: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O3 -march=bdver1 -pipe -I/usr/include/tirpc -m elf_x86_64 -o irrecord irrecord.o config_file.o dump_config.o input_map.o transmit.o receive.o libhw_module.a x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc: error: elf_x86_64: No such file or directory make[3]: *** [irrecord] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.9.0/work/lirc-0.9.0/daemons' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.9.0/work/lirc-0.9.0/daemons' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/app-misc/lirc-0.9.0/work/lirc-0.9.0' make: *** [all] Error 2 gcc --help say that it passes -m automatically to sub-processes however in my testing it does not. # x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc --help Usage: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc [options] file...
