Okay, I admit I might be a bit stupid.
After my previous rant about gcc-config and eselect-compiler, it turns out that my CHOST was somehow b0rked. Just removing the -pc from CHOST=”i686-pc-linux-gnu” fixed the issues.
Day: August 16, 2006
LiveCD, bootstraping and binary packages
Ok, as I said earlier I’m currently reinstalling my system from scratch (to finally and completly get rid of stupid eselect-compiler).
The first attempt was a bit, ehrm, error-prone (as in unpacking stage3-i686-2006.0.tar.bz2, chrooting to that and running emerge -ek system). Result was a b0rked chroot after the first two packages (heh, it was pulling in =sys-libs/glibc-2.4-r3 as the second package, thus everything that hasn’t been merged from my binpkg-repo and still originating from the snapshot being broken).
After removing the whole stuff again, again unpacking the stage3 tarball I simply untar’ed all system related (or those that I thought were vital) tarballs into the /mnt/gentoo directory.
*arg* after I finished writing those lines, I tried sudo gcc-config 6 to see if that would work. And what happens ?
Same old, same old …

* Switching cross-compiler to i686-linux-gnu-4.1.1 [ ok ] >>> Regenerating /etc/ld.so.cache |
portage / eselect-compiler
On Monday I helped Ned fixing ebuilds using the following DEPEND/RDEPEND:
|
1 |
*DEPEND=" || ( app-admin/eselect-compiler >=sys-devel/gcc-config-1.3.1 )" |
Problems only popped up because app-admin/eselect-compiler got masked due to numerous, unresolved bugs (and Jeremy/eradicator being MIA again).
But that also revealed a bug within portage on handling the || ( a b ), where a is being masked.
So solar and I had being working on updating those ebuilds that use the above syntax (or something similar, some are using other versions, thanks Sven for the hint/reminder).
But now I’m sitting here with a broken system (ask tsunam about yesterday evening, ~ 20:00 UTC), unable to switch gcc-versions (due to gcc-config-1.3 misbehaving in some way and always only setting the cross-compiler when it should set the native-compiler).
I decided to reinstall the system from my kept binary packages (heh FEATURES=buildpkg ++), just backed up /etc (and left /home and /root). Will see how that turns out.
