https://blogs.gentoo.org/ago/2020/07/04/gentoo-tinderbox/ Issue: media-video/x264-encoder-0.0.20190903 calls strings directly. Discovered on: amd64 (internal ref: ci) NOTE: As per QA policy, toolchain tools must not be called directly because they can cause issue in cross-compiling and because is not possible use a different STRINGS implementation (like llvm-strings). To reproduce, please use sys-devel/gcc-config[-native-symlinks], sys-devel/binutils-config[-native-symlinks] and set the STRINGS variable to x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-strings.

media-libs/x264 ebuilds call `configure` with --cross-prefix="${CHOST}-", while media-video/x264-encoder do not. In configure of x264(-encoder)-0.0.20190903: > cross_prefix="" > ... > # parse options > > for opt do > optarg="${opt#*=}" > case "$opt" in > ... > --cross-prefix=*) > cross_prefix="$optarg" > ;; > ... > # skip endianness check for Intel Compiler and MSVS, as all supported platforms are little. each have flags that will cause the check to fail as well > CPU_ENDIAN="little-endian" > if [ $compiler = GNU ]; then > echo "int i[2] = {0x42494745,0}; double f[2] = {0x1.0656e6469616ep+102,0};" > conftest.c > $CC $CFLAGS conftest.c -c -o conftest.o 2>/dev/null || die "endian test failed" > if (${cross_prefix}strings -a conftest.o | grep -q BIGE) && (${cross_prefix}strings -a conftest.o | grep -q FPendian) ; then > define WORDS_BIGENDIAN > CPU_ENDIAN="big-endian" > elif !(${cross_prefix}strings -a conftest.o | grep -q EGIB && ${cross_prefix}strings -a conftest.o | grep -q naidnePF) ; then > die "endian test failed" > fi > fi So calling `configure` with --cross-prefix="${CHOST}-" would hide immediate problem by using "${CHOST}-strings", but it would not respect potential e.g. STRINGS="llvm-strings".
