If your locale's alphabet does not end with z you might have to |
| 25 |
1. declare LC_ALL="C" in make.conf to override systemwide locale or |
| 26 |
2. use per-user locales leaving sysadmin and root locales to default. |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
A lot of configure scripts use awk,sed and the like in operations with |
| 29 |
[a-zA-Z] not realizing that some alphabets are not a-z but rather a-y |
| 30 |
for example. This can break stuff when portage gets used with an |
| 31 |
alphabet like this. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
The USE flag by itself haven't caused me any trouble, in the worst case |
| 34 |
you only have to emerge --newuse whatever causes trouble. |
