You receive this bug because this package does not respect my system's AR/RANLIB ( x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar - /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar | x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib - /usr/bin/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib ) and calls directly ar - /usr/bin/ar | ranlib - /usr/bin/ranlib The possible solutions to fix this issue are: 1)Fix the buildsystem, if you can 2)inherit toolchain-funcs and use tc-export AR RANLIB 3)inherit toolchain-funcs and use emake AR="$(tc-getAR)" RANLIB="$(tc-getRANLIB)" ar cru libncbiobj.a objacces.o objalign.o objall.o objbibli.o objfeat.o objgen.o objloc.o objmedli.o objpub.o objres.o objscoremat.o objseq.o objblock.o objcode.o objsset.o objsub.o objprt.o objfdef.o objalignloc.o objtable.o objpubme.o objmdrs.o objproj.o objgbseq.o objtseq.o objinsdseq.o objmacro.o objent2.o ent2api.o pmfapi.o objtax3.o tax3api.o objegkludge.o objentgene.o objmla2.o mla2api.o qblastapi.o vecscnapi.o objmim.o objvalid.o mimapi.o cddapi.o seqport.o sequtil.o prtutil.o simple.o tofasta.o tofile.o tomedlin.o valid.o valapi.o alignmgr.o aliparse.o aliread.o alignval.o sqnutil1.o sqnutil2.o sqnutil3.o sqnutil4.o subutil.o edutil.o asn2ff1.o asn2ff2.o asn2ff3.o asn2ff4.o asn2ff5.o asn2ff6.o asn2gnb1.o asn2gnb2.o asn2gnb3.o asn2gnb4.o asn2gnb5.o asn2gnb6.o ftusrstr.o gbfeat.o gbftglob.o gbparint.o utilpars.o utilpub.o ffprint.o wprint.o satutil.o seqmgr.o objmgr.o gather.o accmmdbs.o acccn3ds.o lsqfetch.o findrepl.o codon.o jzcoll.o jzmisc.o maputil.o mconsist.o macroapi.o salpedit.o salpstat.o salpacc.o salprop.o salsap.o salstruc.o salutil.o udvseq.o blocks.o pgppop.o samutil.o ddvcolor.o viewmgr.o ddvcreate.o jsavlt.o needleman.o txalign.o fdlobj.o alignmgr2.o alnread.o acerdapi.o aceread.o cp -p libncbiobj.a ../lib ranlib ../lib/libncbiobj.a
