This requires the ebuild to use epatch_user. Adam, I don't it is possible to use the 'evn' file to patch an ebuild. Either edit the ebuild directly and add your patch or open a bug asking the toolchain maintainers to add epatch_user to gcc. But I have to say, it is easier if you just edit the ebuild, add the epatch_user line there, run ebuild digest and then place your patch in /etc/portage/patches. You should then be able to build gcc just fine. -- Regards, Markos Chandras / Gentoo Linux Developer / Key ID: B4AFF2C2
