Kernel 4.4.6 as a bug. x11-drivers/xf86-video-virtualbox does not compile. |
| 66 |
Reason: |
| 67 |
/usr/src/linux-4.4.6-gentoo/include/linux/string.h |
| 68 |
'char *strreplace(char *s, char old, char new);' causes compile failure. |
| 69 |
"new" is a C++ keyword. |
| 70 |
Changing tp 'char *strreplace(char *s, char oldstr, char newstr);' fixes |
| 71 |
the problem. |
