fails for me with rlibtool, libtool, lld, bfd, bash and dash

(In reply to Alessandro Barbieri from comment #2)
> fails for me with [...] libtool [...]
When testing this, should just not set LIBTOOL instead of LIBTOOL=libtool

In this case it's failing because LIBTOOL is set at all, otherwise it works just fine.

[Comment 4 Ionen Wolkens 2021-03-21 09:13:08 UTC]

Technically not a slibtool issue, but I'll mark it as such as it's only a problem if trying to use alternate libtool.

Haven't tried but I assume this affects net-dns/bind as well.

[Comment 5 Alessandro Barbieri 2021-03-21 12:35:35 UTC]

I can't unset variables in /etc/portage/env

[Comment 6 orbea 2021-03-21 20:39:04 UTC]

> I can't unset variables in /etc/portage/env

I set it in make.conf:

  MAKEFLAGS='LIBTOOL=rlibtool'

And if needed in /etc/portage/env/libtool.conf:

  MAKEFLAGS=''

Seems fixed in the bind upstream git repo already. I bisected it to the following to commits.
