Since I installed gentoo 2007.0 on my centrino laptop 4 months ago, I could see lot of references to the i486 architecture in the libraries and configuration files. I think maybe I selected the wrong architecture snapshot.

Therefore I updated my gcc, glibc and binutils following this guide:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/change-chost.xml

After this update all the the i486 links and refences were removed, for example variable in /etc/env.d contains now no reference to a i486 architecture like before. This is confirmed by the following commands:

Code:
 
KITOO quino # gcc-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-4.1.2 *
KITOO quino # binutils-config -l
 [1] i686-pc-linux-gnu-2.17 *


Then I tried to make and emerge world, but two packages are giving an error, and blocking the whole update world process:
Code:
KITOO quino # emerge file

                                  (lot of stuff, and at the end)

make[2]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/sys-apps/file-4.21-r1/work/file-4.21'

The same happens with the samba package. I can see there are some reference to "i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc" architecture in the error message.

Any clue?, thank you in advanced.

env.d is not the only place to look. You can end up with leftover symlinks and binaries from the old compiler. Look in /usr/, /usr/libexec/gcc/, /usr/lib/gcc/ for a directory called i486-pc-linux-gnu, and delete it if it exists. Next, do this:
Code:

ls /usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu*


Delete anything you find. Or you can just do this:

Code:

rm -f `ls --color=no /usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu*`


There's probably stuff in /usr/share/gcc-data/i486-pc-linux-gnu as well. That won't cause trouble, but it does waste space. Also, you didn't mention checking /etc/env.d/gcc, so in case you haven't, check for stale files there as well.

The given error is probably caused by an old python config file, remerging python might help.

Thank you for all your answers, this is what I did:

First I emerged python as suggested. the following package was installed: dev-lang/python-2.4.4-r4

Second I tried to emerge of the conflictive packages and it worked!. Now I am doing a full world and system update.

I also took a look searching for the old i486 files and symlinks in the suggested directories, finding the following:

Code:

quino@KITOO ~ $ ls /usr/bin/i?86-pc-linux-gnu*
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-c++
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-c++-4.1.1
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-cpp
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-cpp-4.1.1
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-g++
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-g++-4.1.1
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-g++32
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.1
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-gcc32
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-gfortran
/usr/bin/i486-pc-linux-gnu-gfortran-4.1.1
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-addr2line
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-ar
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-as
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++-4.1.2
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-c++filt
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-cpp
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-cpp-4.1.2

/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-g++-4.1.2
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc-4.1.2
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gfortran
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gfortran-4.1.2
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-gprof
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-ld
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-nm
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-objcopy
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-objdump
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-ranlib
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-readelf
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-size
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-strings
/usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-strip
quino@KITOO ~ $


I removed all of the i486 links and files.

So far I am really enjoying the gentoo experience!.

Best Regards
