First im not sure if this belongs here or in -dev, posting here just in case.
Second, i must say im not trying to be agressive. I aprecciate the developers work, specially maintaining a side project. Uclibc-ng, for some reason, cant read relative paths for LD_LIBRARY_PATH I barely know about ebuilds and dont even know how to submit a patch. But in python and icu bugtrackers you can find workarounds to both problems. https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591586 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=608312 For python one, you would need to remove PYTHON_SITEDIR from local vars (line 268) and add in the next line local -x LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH+${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:}$PWD As for icu, we can declare the variable in the ebuild, this ought to be enough. export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${WORKDIR}/icu/source-*/lib:${WORKDIR}/icu/source-*/stubdata Both these options wrapped under a if elibc=uclibc-ng obviously.
