 Hello,

 I have searched quite a bit for an error I'm having when emerging
 current zlib-1.2.5-r2. The problem is that somehow the soname is not
 written in the .so file, and the build process fails. I attach all the
 build logs in case I have some obvious misconfiguration that I should be
 aware of. I have not changed my CHOSTS or things like that.

 I recompiled the previous version and happened the same, but it seems
 at that time not having a soname was not forbidden by the ebuild and I
 got just a QA notice.

 If I try to compile zlib from the /var/tmp/portage... directory the
 library compiles fine and, in addition, the soname is included this
 time. I tried to trace the eclasses in order to know what was happening
 but I couldn't.

Glad to hear it, I knew something about that CC looked suspicious. :)

I finally found it. Turns out that for using distcc I had to set CC=cc
in make.conf, and with that setting, zlib's configure avoided to build
the shared library. Unsetting CC in make.conf made it working again.

You are right, well spotted!

My environment CC was empty or already unset, I removed the `-m32' tag
but it happens the same.

I followed your advice. I have only another compiler, the mingw cross
compiler, but I checked that is not selected byb default.

Nevertheless, thank you for your help. You gave me the idea on focusing
on zlib's configure script in order to see what is failing in the
detection process.
