[gentoo-dev] bootstrap.sh issues

[Sean P. Kane]

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem that is occurring with the
bootstrap.sh script during install. Groff is failing to build on a lot
of people machines. See: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1805

Can anyone tell me what packages the bootstrap process installs? Is it
everything in /usr/portage/profiles/default/packages? Also is it safe to
emerge gcc and groff using my current make.conf file and then run the
bootstrap.sh or will this just end up re-emerging gcc and wiping out
what I had done? And finally, if this is the case, any idea how I can
edit this to build gcc in a particular way (i.e. with g++ support in
it)? The USE=build that gets set in this script seems to exclude g++
from gcc during the compile.


Thanks,
Sean
