Succeeded now. (Thanks in good part to Gerardo who made me realize that the javac binary was unable to find libjli.so, even though it was where it should be. Symlinking to /usr/lib solved the problem. So this was some LIBPATH problem in my supposedly pristine chroot.)
Dammit!!! My new package happens to have the same GD problem Douglas originally had: see FS#14738
Folks, I am no longer sure to understand the subtleties of "building in a clean chroot" ...
Now that I know that this package belongs to Douglas, I'll happily let him deal with it ;D
On the other hand, I'd be grateful to be a bit more enlightened about all this. Has anyone experienced any similar issues whilst building packages in a chroot?
My guess on all these issues is that there are makedepends (which are probably also optdepends) missing so various component are not being built on a clean system. Allan
