Aside from a great number of warnings, I get these errors:
Code:

!!! ERROR: sci-biology/staden-1.5.3 failed.
!!! Function src_unpack, Line 110, Exitcode 0
!!! (no error message)
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.

[...]

/usr/bin/texi2dvi: line 369: 25541 Segmentation fault      $texindex $index_files 2>&5 1>&2
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: texindex exited with bad status, quitting.
make[1]: *** [scripting.pdf] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2

!!! ERROR: sci-biology/staden-1.5.3 failed.
!!! Function src_compile, Line 161, Exitcode 2
!!! Package compilation failed.
!!! If you need support, post the topmost build error, NOT this status message.


That error is the first error I see.

Can anyone help?

texi2dvi is also segfaulting on me (very similarly), but during a remerge of allegro. Tagging this thread for replies and if I come up with something that fixes it for allegro I'll share it here in the hopes it will work for your build.

The last time I compiled allegro successfully I was using texinfo-4.6 (which owns texi2dvi). On Oct 1st I upgraded to texinfo-4.8-r1 due to security issues with previous versions. texinfo-4.6 was no longer available in the portage tree so I downgraded to texinfo-4.7 and now allegro compiled successfully from start to finish. So if you are using texinfo-4.8 you might want to try downgrading to texinfo-4.7 and then remerge texinfo-4.8-r1 (if security is a concern) when you are finished. Alternatively, if you do not care about the docs, you might want to try emerge -v staden and see if tetex is listed. If it is, you could try USE="-tetex" emerge staden and see if that skips texi2dvi conversion.

Please file a bug on bugzilla so the devs can have a look at it. Thanks :lol:

Here's the bug report and proposed patches to texinfo-4.8 for what will hopefully be a texinfo-4.8-r2 release.

Gentoo devs released texinfo-4.8-r2. Includes fixes for both the race condition (security fix -r1 included) and the Segfaults it introduced under certain circumstances.
