I've tried to recompile mod_php-4.3.9. It fails everytime when checking for cracklib support. Early today, i've updated my cracklib (emerge -uv world) to version cracklib-2.7-r9. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge -v mod_php Actual Results: compilation fails Expected Results: mod_php should compile. Additionnal informations on how i've corrected the problem. I've juste added links in /usr/lib for files /lib/libcrack.so* and all works like a charm ! The configure in mod_php seems to use gcc flags for library inclusion like this "-L/usr/lib", nothing related to "/lib" Packages settings : sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r9 -debug -pam -(uclibc) dev-php/mod_php-4.3.9 -X +apache2 -berkdb +crypt -curl -debug -debug -debug -doc -fdftk -firebird -flash -freetds +gd -gd-external -gdbm -gmp -hardenedphp +imap -informix -ipv6 -java +jpeg -kerberos +ldap -mcal -memlimit -mssql +mysql +nls -oci8 -odbc -pam -pdflib +png -postgres -qt +snmp -spell +ssl +tiff +truetype +xml2 -yaz Portage 2.0.50-r11 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.3.4, glibc-2.3.3.20040420-r2, 2.6.7-gentoo-r11-grsec) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.7-gentoo-r11-grsec i686 Celeron (Mendocino) Gentoo Base System version 1.4.16 Autoconf: sys-devel/autoconf-2.59-r5 Automake: sys-devel/automake-1.8.5-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/config /var/bind /var/qmail/alias /var/qmail/control /var/vpopmail/domains /var/vpopmail/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -mcpu=i686 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs ccache fixpackages sandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/usr/local/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://gentoo.menfin.net/gentoo-portage" USE="aavm apache2 apm arts avi bitmap-fonts crypt encode evms2 f77 fam foomaticdb gd gtk2 imap imlib jpeg ldap libg++ mad mikmod mysql ncurses oggvorbis opengl oss perl png quicktime readline sdl slang ssl svga tcpd tiff truetype x86 xml2 xmms xprint xv zlib"
I had the same problem, and the workaround fixed it.

Same problem here. After downgrading cracklib to sys-libs/cracklib-2.7-r8 mod_php is able to emerge.
/usr/lib and /lib are implictly included when gcc links anything, unless you specify that they are not to be used with -nostdlibs. I've updated the version of cracklib that's pulled anyway.
