[gentoo-dev] boostrap.sh problem?

Dear all,
  One of our users, "hunt3r" on #gentoo, is having boostrap fail while
building "sed", which for whatever reason is getting built before
gcc/glibc.  You can see his (her?  dunno) log at
http://lifeline.sytes.net:8001/emerge.log.  Should bootstrap be building
sed?  If so, should it build it before gcc and glibc?  (I normally
wouldn't post this sort of problem here, but I tend to consider any
failures that our users see during bootstrap to be show-stoppers for our
1.4 release.)

Hmmm, is it possible that his build fails because he has "static" in
USE?  I haven't looked at the new bootstrap script very carefully to see
how it filters USE flags.

The specific sed error he's getting is:

10:39 <hunt3r> gcc  -mcpu=pentium2 -O2 -pipe  -static -o sed  sed.o

I asked hunt3r to try bootstrapping again w/o "static" in USE, and so
far it seems to be working for him.  Should bootstrap be filtering that
use flag?

Bootstrap doesn't filter out any use flags. They need to be set correctly.

you cant sit there and say that and then not tell people what will break a 
bootstrap ... either the bootstrap process should filter static from USE or 
the install docs should be updated with a note that says 'USE=static' will 
break bootstrap, please do not use this until you are past stage3

Erm... I'm not sure if this is a dumb-question... but I thought that
bootstrap should use only the USE settings in
/usr/portage/profiles/build/make.defaults ?
 
  $grep USE make.defaults
  USE="build"

I note that sys-apps/sed is listed in /usr/portage/profiles/build/packages

Is it possible that hunt3r has found some clever undocumented way to
manipulate his USE flags too early in his installation..?

Stroller.

welp since noone has had any input on the issue and the bootstrap process 
doesnt appear to be changing, ive gone ahead and added said warning to 
use.desc and to the install guide

looking through bugs.gentoo.org i find this has come up before ...
http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3233
the resolution was to remove mention of it in USE-HOWTO claiming it was a 
'developer only' flag ... imo it really isnt ... i know from a users 
standpoint ive had a package or 2 i wanted to compile statically for use in 
another system ...

so should the 'static' USE flag be changed in profiles/use.desc to read as the 
other 'internal, developer only' flags ?  that is, should it say:
static: !!internal use only!! DO NOT SET THIS FLAG YOURSELF!
