Description Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2020-04-16 11:35:01 UTC
This is an auto-filled bug because net-misc/bridge-utils fails to compile on amd64. Feel free to adjust the summary to clarify the exact issue. Attached build log and emerge --info

Comment 2 Robin Johnson archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-04-21 17:05:20 UTC
I think your binutils is broken. ar should be provided on your system by binutils already and is part of the system set.

From your log:
ar rcs libbridge.a libbridge_devif.o libbridge_if.o libbridge_init.o libbridge_misc.o
make[1]: ar: Command not found
make[1]: *** [Makefile:33: libbridge.a] Error 127
make[1]: Leaving directory '/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/bridge-utils-1.5/work/bridge-utils-1.5/libbridge'
make[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
make[1]: Entering directory '/var/tmp/portage/net-misc/bridge-utils-1.5/work/bridge-utils-1.5/brctl'

I cannot reproduce this here on 1.5 or 1.6.
Comment 3 Mike Gilbert gentoo-dev 2020-04-21 17:19:33 UTC
AR is hard coded to "ar" in libbridge/Makefile.in. This may cause problems when cross-compiling.

I will write a patch.
