When I try to emerge mplayer-1.0_pre6-r1, the compilation fails at the beginning with a valid version of gcc not being found. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Add "media-video/mplayer ~x86" to /etc/portage/package.keywords 2. "emerge mplayer" 3. Actual Results: Mplayer fails to even begin to compile - the first ./configure run fails to find a valid gcc compiler.

Please give the output of gcc-config -l
Here it is: # gcc-config -l [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5 * [2] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardened [3] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardenednopie [4] i686-pc-linux-gnu-3.3.5-hardenednossp However, I've done my own research on this and found that if I use FEATURES="-sandbox" it merges fine. Further digging found that it seems like the "cut" command is failing when run in the sandbox with LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - I edited the ebuild to print out the full environment at the point where ./configure was run, and set up an identical environment at a shell prompt. In this case, ./configure failed as well. Unsetting either LD_PRELOAD to remove libsandbox.so or unsetting LANG resolved the problem. So I think this is a portage/sandbox bug - what's the procedure here? Close this bug and enter a portage bug?
Talked with portage guys.. found a dup. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 74803 ***
