  • Q: I have upgraded gcc and now emerge fails with messages such as
    Code:
    grep: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/<old_version>/libstdc++.la: No such file or directory.

    What should I do?

    A: This typically happens because some packages have hard coded the path to libstdc++.la. Run
    Code:
    fix_libtool_files.sh <old_version>

    to fix it. Note that you may have to run
    Code:
    env-update && source /etc/profile

    first. Note also that you may run into problems if you have changed the default root umask.

  • Q: That's all nice, but the CHOST (i686-pc-linux-gnu above) is incorrect as well.

    A: Then you have to pass the --oldarch flag to fix_libtool_files.sh:
    Code:
    fix_libtool_files.sh <old_version> --oldarch <incorrect_CHOST>

    Note that if you're thinking about changing the CHOST setting in /etc/make.conf it should be made with caution.

  • Further reading:

2005-03-22: Added --oldarch
2005-04-15: Added Further reading
2006-05-16: Added note about 4.1.0 revision update issue
