[gentoo-alt] util-linux in a Solaris x86 prefix - can't emerge - doesn't compile + one minor ebuild-level issue to maybe fix

[Tamás Gérczei]

Hello list,

I'm having a problem emerging sys-apps/util-linux in my prefix in a Solaris
10 x86 container and I need Your help.
The reason I need the package at all is that I need /usr/bin/script - with
its "-t" switch. No other functionality would I be interested in. Henceforth
I have even tried to reduce the set of USE flags on the package one by one
at first, yet nothing delivered. The same holds true for the earlier
versions the tree seems to still have - but the 2.17.* versions die on me
even in the configure phase complaining about the lack of crypt(). I would
be content with either version and yes I know these packages are masked.
Still I'm compelled in solving this issue - were it only possible.

Please help me if you can and also forgive my maybe having posted either too
little or too many information; it's my first time asking for "official"
help after all.

I did not so far realize that maybe the -O3 setting could be the culprit -
but since that gave me no pain whatsoever on any other box I have rolled
stuff on, I'm only wondering. The only other idea that I'm almost having is
my having upgraded gcc beforehand. Everything has so far gone by the book
though - well aside from a small glitch that I'll - once mentioned - quickly
elaborate on as well: the enewgroup and enewuser routines err, given that
Solaris has a different syntax for these commands - as in, different from
the GNU userland's suchlike options. Once having fixed that, I was set, yet
that might require official effort to become fixed on a higher level, as
irrelevant in this post as that is. Just thought I'd let you know.

Thankful in advance for any efforts made:
T.
