Hi All,

I'm trying to perform an update of my Gentoo box (SPARC Ultra 5). The compile / emerge process fails with the following error message.

init.o: In function `capget':
init.c.text+0x134): undefined reference to `errno'
init.c.text+0x13c): undefined reference to `errno'
init.o: In function `capset':
init.c.text+0x194): undefined reference to `errno'
init.c.text+0x19c): undefined reference to `errno'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [init] Error 1

make: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/sysvinit-2.86-r3/work/sysvinit-2.86/src'

!!! ERROR: sys-apps/sysvinit-2.86-r3 failed.

Below is an extract from emerge.log of the things emerged immediately prior.

It seems you're using ~sparc, re-emerge linux-headers since it was fixed wrt to that a couple of days ago.

That fixed the problem. Thanks.

Any idea when the newer "baselayout" will be working? It obviously isn't "SPARC ready" just yet. When ever I do an update it is emerged and I have to roll back to the original version.

FYI I get a lot of tty errors with the latest baselayout

What exactly do you mean by "it isn't SPARC ready"? I use it on several boxes, and the only problem I'm seeing is the stty one you mentioned. Bug #104067 is tracking this issue.

[w.hill]

Hmmm. That would be the problem.

I guess that there have been a few (testing) iterations of 1.12.X yet the problem persists. Since 1.12 is presumably an evolution of 1.11.X I'm just a bit surprised. From what I've seen so far with Gentoo the bugs get stomped on pretty quickly. (That supposed to be a compliment to the developers & testers )
