Bumping to 1.34.3 seems to work with exception of patches and I needed to removed files from po/POTFILES.
I found this bug when I found that the existing 1.28.x will not compile with GCC 5. Created #614584 with a bump request to a newer newer libguestfs.

Updated ebuild to 1.36.5. This is not just a version bump; it fixes multiple issues with the latest version in the portage tree, 1.28.5-r2, some of which have their own b.g.o bugs and some don't: 1) eclass changes made globbing in PATCHES= no longer supported, so we must list each patch explicitly. Even the current 1.28.5-r2.ebuild in the tree is broken and will not build. 2) Fixes compilation with GCC5. GCC5 is not supported by 1.28.x upstream AFAIK, while 1.36.x works fine; see closed-as-duplicate bug#614584 3) Updated upstream fixes build issues against >=gperf-3.1, see bug#617986 4) Updated upstream fixes build issues w/fuse, see bug#610998 5) Added patch to work around gtkdocize issue, see new upstream bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1465665 6) Make the bash-completion USE flag do something: now the DEPENDS entry is conditional on it. (There is no ./configure knob I don't think, but if bash-completion is not installed, build will simply skip it-this is not ideal, but better than current IMHO)

If a new new libguestfs comes out soon I'll update this ticket with yet another version bump request; if not, I'll prepare a patch that cherry-picks the update unless someone beats me to it.

The configure script is supposed to be detecting if the -safe-string option is supported, see: https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/blob/master/m4/guestfs_ocaml.m4#L114 I should note that it doesn't detect that feature directly, but assumes it from the absence of the OCaml Bytes module. There may be some other reason why it's failing however, best to look at the config.log file. An alternative would be to update to OCaml >= 4.02 (latest upstream is 4.05).

Stop. This could be an actual bug in the build, but the way to work around it is to add the following somewhere in your ebuild scripts: $ rm po/POTFILES $ make po/POTFILES I guess it's something to do with you not enabling all the virt tools, therefore virt-builder is not built, therefore this file (which is generated by lex/yacc) is not created during the build.
Just bump to 1.36. Thanks for reporting.
