If you don't want try patches the only solution is downgrade ocaml and masking version 4.04.0 (echo "=dev-lang/ocaml-4.04.0" >> /etc/portage/package.mask).

it's not that complicated to apply patches, the steps are:

• if not exists create file /etc/portage/bashrc with content
  

  Code:

  pre_src_prepare() {     [[ ${EAPI:-0} == [012345] ]] || return     if ! type epatch_user > /dev/null 2>&1; then         local names="EPATCH_USER_SOURCE epatch_user epatch evar_push evar_push_set evar_pop estack_push estack_pop"         source <(awk "/^# @(FUNCTION|VARIABLE): / { p = 0 } /^# @(FUNCTION|VARIABLE): (${names// /|})\$/ { p = 1 } p { print }" ${PORTDIR}/eclass/eutils.eclass)     fi     epatch_user     for name in $names; do         unset $name     done }

  
  
• create directory
  

  Code:

  mkdir -p /etc/portage/patches/net-misc/unison-2.48.3

  
  
• save patch in this directory
  

  Code:

  # cd /etc/portage/patches/net-misc/unison-2.48.3 # wget "https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/files/252406/patch1.txt" -O unison-ocaml1.patch # wget "https://github.com/bcpierce00/unison/files/252405/patch2.txt" -O unison-ocaml2.patch

  
  
• try to compile unison
  

  Code:

  # emerge -1 unison

It works !! Thank you very much again. Please allow me a last question: When the next version of unison will be available, I olnly have to delete the bashrc - or only the patches - or both ?
