[gentoo-alt] sys-devel/llvm-3.6.0 on x64-macos

[Johan Hattne]

Dear all;

Motivated by the past thread (starting at https://archives.gentoo.org/gentoo-alt/message/9a8a47c94bbf2fbc1ab089b62211dcaa), I set out to get clang installed on my 10.9 prefix.  For me it fails during compile, but I’m thinking that the problem occurred during configure, because it says

  >>> Configuring source in /Users/hattne/Gentoo/var/tmp/portage/sys-devel/llvm-3.6.0/work/llvm-3.6.0.src ...
   * .amd64: running multilib-minimal_abi_src_configure

where I would have expected something like perhaps “abi_x86_64.amd64: running multilib-minimal_abi_src_configure”.  I thought I had messed up my profile, but this is set

  etc/portage/make.profile -> ../../usr/portage/profiles/prefix/darwin/macos/10.9/x64

However, even with this symbolic link in place, USE does not contain an abi settings, i.e. `portageq envvar USE | grep abi` returns nothing.  I can of course get past this initial problem by goofing around with the multilib eclasses, but unsurprisingly I run into other equally basic problems (in my case a double prefix).

I’m suspecting that yet again, there’s something very fundamental that I’ve missed.  Anybody have any pointers on what’s gone wrong or what else to check?
