Description Peter Levine 2016-05-08 23:42:51 UTC 
Cross-compiling sys-devel/gettext-0.19.7 fails with "/usr/lib/libc.a: error adding symbols: File format not recognized" (CBUILD=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and CHOST=armv7a-hardfloat-linux-gnueabi).  In the install phase, libtool relinks with "-L/usr/lib".  Workarounds involving LDFLAGS don't work as they're included after the offending libpath.

There currently exists the elibtoolize patch in portage "ELT-patches/cross/link-ROOT" that fixes this type of problem.  It seems that it doesn't cleanly apply to "${WORKDIR}"/gettext-0.19.7/build-aux/ltmain.sh.

ELT-patches/cross/link-ROOT-2.4.6

An ELT-patch (libtool-2.4.6) based on "cross/link-ROOT" to be included in portage.

Apparently there is a slight change in wording (eg., '"$hardcode_minus_L" = yes' instead of 'yes = "$hardcode_minus_L"') the causes "cross/link-ROOT" not to apply.
