postfix can't build on uclibc because uclibc don't provides YP/NIS, and as far as i understand won't ... it just needs to be desactivated in a posfix header file before build Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.try to build postfix on uclibc gentoo 2.fails 3.

Created attachment 53584 [details, diff] patch to the ebuild postfix-2.1.5-r2.ebuild Comments the define "#define HAS_NIS" in src/util/sys_defs.h using sed if uclibc is in the use flags.
USE=nis is in postfix-2.2 series. We are not going to fix postfix-2.1 series.
