Thanks! zaanpenguin for saving my ass!

Here's what i get for not reading all posts before trying to repair :-/

So i read the post about unmerging binutils first, kinda makes sense even though i read later that emerge -k will unmerge it. I do that, go on to find out i should unmerge gcc as well, neglect to read the next post saying NOT to do this, and before i know it, i have no gcc, and no binutils, and no amd64 version of either. Obviously i'm going to need the liveCD to repair this. To recap:

Thanks. Now that I had some more time, I will also provide official quickpkg'd versions of binutils for P4 and Athlon ASAP. (Done... See original post)

Again located at:

ftp://ftp.ruled.org/pub/Gentoo/

I have tried the fix at ftp://ftp.ruled.org/pub/Gentoo/, and at http://dev.gentoo.org/~avenj/bins/. Nothing works. Please address this issue immediately. Also, if this is any help, i "recieved" this bug shortly after the original poster-- making me one of the first "infected".
EDIT: CLARIFICATION:
It doesn't work in the manner that i get the same error.

Just checked with the bug report, and it seems that a new patch to fix the bug is available, along with new, official binaries, which are version bumped to 2.15.92.0.2-r4. Refer to comment 17

For quick download, here is the official -r4 binutils binary for: AMD64 , and x86.

Please download and install these new binaries instead of the ones mentioned earlier in this topic, and voice back to the bug report if there are any glitches remaining.

Well, that got me out of a jam. Untar the x86 file, emerge sync, emerge binutils and bob's your uncle!

What's with all the arguing about fixing broken packages with binaries? You dump the tbz2 file into your PKGDIR which is /usr/portage/packages/All on most systems and you emerge with the -k option. Nothing special.

Whatever this bug is didn't affect my system either, current ~x86, I just emerged world and got the -r4 plus some other updates without any issues. Does anyone know what the trigger is/was that caused the trouble?

Makes sense, emerge early and emerge often but sometimes you get lucky.

After emerging -r4 I'm getting this error:

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables

also ldconfig seg. faults. Here's my ld.so.conf and my cflags..

r4 is here yes, and is on the site too.

however, it fails it's own tests and breaks more people systems.

to be safe I'd stick to r1 or 2 which work (tm).

I've only included them becuase people will always want the latest, greatest stuff

solution with tar && emerge r1 works for me.

i don't see what is in newer version better.

i stay using r1

cybertron · n00b Joined: 30 Jan 2004 Posts: 65 Location: Sweden

the big problem is that (if not careful) you do an emerge -uD world and bang everything dies directly!!

I can accept the problem happening with one release,...but TWO?

yeah yeah....that is the price for running ~x86 isn't it ?

I wonder if this affects only people with pentiums or that have glibc-2.3.4.20050125? I masked off that version when it came out so I still have 2.3.4.20041102 on this system so I'm not totally at current ~x86.

I did the FEATURES="maketest" here and there wasn't a problem but binutils is working for me too.

Here's my info on a working system.

No I didn't but I may have emerged -r3 before the ebuild was changed.
