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

util-linux in a Solaris x86 prefix - can't emerge - doesn't compile + one minor ebuild-level issue to maybe fix
Hello again, I'm really very sorry about the HTML posting I have
ignorantly made. Here it comes as plaintext...
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 to solve
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 thought I fixed the latest version with upstream ... :/

This is the culprit, no such function exists on Solaris.
util-linux isn't pretty much very non-Linux-friendly. If you're just
interested in that one script, I'd try to focus on that one, and not to
compile the entire suite of linux utils that you probably don't need.

util-linux in a Solaris x86 prefix - can't emerge - doesn't compile + one minor ebuild-level issue to maybe fix
Hi Fabian,
Well. That I have tried doing by numerous methods to no avail - and
today I seem to have found the perseverance to build /usr/bin/script
off the misc-utils tree of util-linux hacking all the includes and
headers across the platforms... It even works, more or less, but it
does fail - something just isn't right there concerning the outputs.
BUT: I found ttyrec which, though, won't emerge in the prefix from the
ebuild provided, does compile (and even run and record) fine from the
vanilla source on Solaris 10 - and does therefore solve my problem,
rendering util-linux useless for the purpose I sought.
Many thanks for your advice!
