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="$(tc-getAR)" From the build log: ar cru libutils.a bitset.o fft4g.o mblock.o memb.o nkflib.o strtab.o support.o timer.o net.o getaddrinfo.o fft.o
Created attachment 349138 [details, diff] timidity++-2.14.0-r1.patch src_compile() { emake AR="$(tc-getAR)" } fixes the issue for me.
