Bug 468114 – dev-util/valgrind : does not respect AR

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Agostino Sarubbo 2013-05-01 10:26:35 UTC]

You receive this bug because this package does not respect my system's AR (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-ar) and calls directly /usr/bin/ar
The possible solutions to fix this issue are:
1)Fix the buildsystem, if you can;
2)inherit toolchain-funcs and use tc-export AR
3)inherit toolchain-funcs and use emake AR="$(tc-getAR)"

Created attachment 349232 [details, diff]
valgrind-3.8.1.patch

I've add tc-export AR to src_confiugre(). This fixes the issue for me.

Thanks Michael.  This is a safe change so I added it directly to 3.8.1.
