Created attachment 370630 [details, diff] patch to set TIME_STYLE in mdate-sh If TIME_STYLE is set (in my case to 'iso-long') the emerge of sys-process/time will hang when attempting to run '$(SHELL) ./mdate-sh time.texi' this is because the mdate.sh script expects to output a string (ie 'january'), but in the case of 'iso-long' it will output a numerical value and not the expected string. With the string not forthcoming the mdate-sh process hangs indefinitely and the emerge never completes. To test the above: export TIME_STYLE="iso-long" ; emerge sys-process/time Attatched is a bumped ebuild and patch which sets TIME_STYLE to 'locale' and so corrects the issue.

should be fixed in autotools.eclass: http://sources.gentoo.org/eclass/autotools.eclass?r1=1.159&r2=1.160
(In reply to SpanKY from comment #3) > should be fixed in autotools.eclass: Indeed, that seems to have fixed it. Thanks.
