when attempting to run emerge --color n sys-devel/gcc I get the following error:

* ARCH is not set... Are you missing the '/opt/gentoo/etc/make.profile'
* symlink? Is the symlink correct? Is your portage tree complete?


At the link location make.defaults:5 reads as follows
Code:
ARCH="x86-interix"


I rsync'd over a hard copy of the symlink location to test if it was indeed not accessing the link properly. Unfortunately this did not resolve the issue and I received the same error.

running emerge with ARCH="x86-interix" listed in the command produces the following error:

!!! 'ARCH=x86-interix' is not a valid package atom.
!!! Please check ebuild(5) for full details.

The man suggests that a definative list of acceptable arch's can be found at /usr/portage/profiles/arch.list
wherein x86-interix is listed.

Has anyone seen this bug before? How do I get make.profile to properly link? Why is the ARCH not being properly identified?

How are you setting this variable?
Please attach your full command line.
It should look like this:
Code:

ARCH="x86-interix" emerge package...


The `ARCH' part have to be *before* the emerge, not after.

What slis said, wrt the command. You need to sort your profile out, evidently, but I don't know enough about Prefix. My advice would be to use IRC: chat.freenode.net and /join #gentoo-prefix to get support from others using it and the developers, in real-time.

edit: missed 'said'

@slis leading with ARCH="x86-interix" worked. Thanks.
