Hi Pablo, |

Someone mentioned this problem on #gentoo-prefix sometime ago. The |
| 4 |
package is not broken; the old libc you have just doesn't provide a |
| 5 |
function it needs. My suggestion is to put the code below into the |
| 6 |
relevant header in util-linux, to make it compile: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
/* |
| 9 |
* mkostemp replacement |
| 10 |
*/ |
| 11 |
#ifndef HAVE_MKOSTEMP |
| 12 |
#define mkostemp(template, flags) mkstemp(template) |
| 13 |
#endif |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
This is the code that they removed that supported older systems. |
| 16 |
You may have to revert the patch you mention below entirely, though, |
| 17 |
if it still doesn't compile after that. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
In any case, you could file a bug, so the prefix team can take a look |
| 20 |
at how to address this problem since you are not the only one that |
| 21 |
has experienced it. |

Best, |
