Bug 536886 – sys-devel/bison-3.0.2 fails to compile with gcc-4.0.1

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo/Alt

[Description Michael Weiser 2015-01-17 19:42:54 UTC]

During bootstrap on OS X 10.5, when the system's gcc-4.0.1 is still in use, bison-3.0.2 fails to compile:

  CC       lib/math.o
In file included from lib/math.h:27,
                 from lib/math.h:27,
[about a 100 repeats]
                 from lib/math.c:3:
lib/math.h:27:23: error: #include nested too deeply
make[2]: *** [lib/math.o] Error 1
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

This was discussed upstream and is scheduled for fix in 3.0.4:

The attached patch adds an equivalent workaround to the 3.0.2 ebuild.

Problem solved itself: bison-3.0.4 is released and in the tree.
