In this case it's not fixable from ebuild side. Takes a larger rewrite of the source code (guess what: they dont even have a proper way of versioning/tagging in gnulib ;-o) I'm currently in process of doing that rewrite in the oss-qm project: git://pubgit.metux.de/oss-qm/coreutils.git git://pubgit.metux.de/oss-qm/gnulib-src.git cu -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt, metux IT service -- http://www.metux.de/ phone: +49 36207 519931 email: weigelt@metux.de mobile: +49 151 27565287 icq: 210169427 skype: nekrad666 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Embedded-Linux / Portierung / Opensource-QM / Verteilte Systeme ----------------------------------------------------------------------
