Well, you could always insert the stub into the world file and manually build and install the package: 1. ebuild /usr/portage/category/app/app-version.ebuild unpack. 2. cd /var/tmp/portage/category/app/work/app-version 3. do the ./configure etc. and choose your own gcc version and/or CFLAGS/LDFLAGS. 4. make && make install Assuming you can come up with the specific combination of compiler and/or flags that you think will resolve the problem, you can get it compiled and installed this way. -- [email protected] mailing list
