Hello all,
I had been thinking about possibly emerging icedtea. According to
the link posted a few days ago gcc needed the gcj flag added so I did
that and emerged gcc. However it seems to have caused an endless loop
in revdep-rebuild. If I'm correct this is a bug that is almost 3 years
old and still unfixed across many revs of gcc and all the system stuff
that's related. The only possible solution I noticed in a very quick
read seems to require hand manipulation of base file which I'm not
going to do.

Now, it seems that many don't see this problem. Have any of you
discovered an emerge method around this?
Thanks,
Mark
Yes, I've seen it and I've also seen that it is a very old bug that for
whatever reason remains unfixed. What I do is to run revdep-rebuild
with the -p flag and hand edit the *.la files it finds to show the
correct path for libgij and libgcj, which are the two that are
perpetually broken on my system. Then on the next run of revdep-rebuild
(again with the -p) it no longer complains about those files. Not an
emerge solution as you asked about, but one that works anyway.
