Hi, the stage3 tarball (eg. stage3-amd64-20131226.tar.bz2) does not have "bc" included, so a kernel compile fails because of this: ... CC mm/madvise.o BC kernel/timeconst.h /bin/sh: bc: command not found make[1]: *** [kernel/timeconst.h] Error 127 make: *** [kernel] Error 2 make: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... ... Kind regards, mdbuerkle Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. extract stage3 tarball, add resolv.conv, adjust make.conf, setup networking 2. USE=symlink emerge gentoo-sources 3. cd /usr/src/linux; make *config; make -j3 bzImage modules (I have special CFLAGS but I think they're irrelevant here.) Actual Results: make stops with error "bc not found" Expected Results: make compiles kernel and modules "unknown repository" is a very old (+5 years) install of gentoo with a partially completed "emerge -1vv --backtrack=30 portage gettext readline e2fsprogs util-linux expat sysvinit". Due to a partial emerge (it stopped in "Emerging (13 of 22) dev-lang/python-3.3.2-r2 for /mnt/gentoo/" with a "copying build/lib.linux-x86_64-3.3/ossaudiodev.cpython-33.so -> /var/tmp/portage/dev-lang/python-3.3.2-r2/image//usr/lib64/python3.3/lib-dynload // error: Function not implemented" and in the end " * ERROR: dev-lang/python-3.3.2-r2::gentoo failed (install phase):
