When using the sandbox portage feature on my O2, I get the following error while emerging various different ebuilds, particularly GNU tools. Automake and coreutils are notable packages this happens to. When I removed sandbox from FEATURES in make.conf, these packages build and install just fine. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge coreutils or 2. emerge automake Actual Results: checking build system type... mips64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /bin/install -c checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: ls -t appears to fail. Make sure there is not a broken alias in your environment configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files! Check your system clock !!! ERROR: sys-devel/automake-1.8.3 failed. !!! Function src_compile, Line 110, Exitcode 1 !!! (no error message) Expected Results: Should have installed properly. I am running multiple mips machines. On my SGI Indy(s), I'm using a 2.4 series 32bit kernel, and sandbox works with no issues. The SGI O2 is running a 64bit 2.6 series kernel. This makes me think it's either an issue with 2.6 or with mips64. A problem with attempting to fix this is that 2.4 will not work on an O2. Also, mips64 and 2.6 really don't work too well on an indy to begin with. This makes it hard to level the playing field between the machines. I plan on attempting to build a 32bit kernel for the O2 and seeing if I can use sandbox again.
Stephen, still hitting this? If so, re-open with a config.log of this...
