Re: [gentoo-embedded] x86 SBC Gentoo Embedded HowTo version 0.03 (unfinished)

[Yuri Vasilevski]

Hi,

It was interesting trying to hack into this problem :-)
And now I understand the exact problem and see a couple
of ways to eradicate the very ugly
# emerge -e system ; emerge python ; emerge -e system
step from Heath's how to.

First, you can see why this happens in my comment to
the bug you pointed me too (bug #88777).

And the solution's I see for Heath's how to (the ones
I consider reasonables) are:

- edit /usr/lib/python2.3/config/Makefile changing:
  from "CC=             i386-gentoo-linux-uclibc-gcc -pthread"
  to "CC=             gcc -pthread" at line #32

- apply the attached patch to automate this change.
  # cd / && patch -p0 < path/to/python.patch

This two options can be followed at any point in Heath's
how to up to just before the emerge -e system step.

- Try using stage1-x86-uclibc-2004.3.tar.bz2 instead
  of stage1-x86-uclibc-2005.0.tar.bz2 as it should not
  suffer form this problem.

- Hope that this problem will be solved soon (possibly
  with the solution I give in my comment to the bug).

Best wishes,
Yuri.
