build log

Multiple attempts to "emerge zziplib" failed.  It also failed after a successful deep world update.  Kernel 3.10.17-gentoo.  Build log attached shows "unsafe absolute working directory" error.  This zziplib emerge failure disappeared spontaneously after I emerged firefox.  None of the dependency programs listed for firefox were listed as dependencies for zziplib upon "emerge --ask zziplib" command.

Toshiba Satellite c655 laptop, AMD64.

Comment 3 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2013-12-01 06:16:50 UTC 
it's because of your funky kernel version:
  3.10.7-gentoo-r1-r#2 x86_64

zziplib uses `uname` to generate a dynamic build dir.  we can force it to use something constant since it doesn't matter to us.

should be all set now in the tree; thanks for the report!

Commit message: Set up the build dir ourselves to simplify things
