You may need to go to /usr/bin and delete all the files starting with i686. You shouldn't have them but eselect compiler screwed you over.


Thank you, that worked! It was driving me mad.

Can we have a moderator sticky this after merging it with some of the other Topics along the same line??

Can someone explain why this solution works? The removal of i686 things from bin? Like some others on the thread, I've found that it works, but I'm not really comfortable deleting stuff from /usr/bin, mostly because I don't really know what they are. Which set of executables is it supposed to be using if not the 686 ones?

I'd just like to understand what I did and why it worked. Thanks :D

EDIT:
Right, I saw above. It should be using the x86_64 bins. That makes sense.

ok, to summarize this for everyone and maybe clarify a bit:
Code:
error: cannot run C compiled programs.

-> enable CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION in your kernel
Code:
error: C compiler cannot create executables

-> rm /usr/bin/i686-pc-linux-gnu-*

You have to delete those because they're broken links most likely created by eselect-compiler.
Then I've read something about an emerge wrapper and that uname -m has to display i686, this is not true. sandbox is built as 64bit and 32bit on a multilib system, uname -m has to be x86_64 in both cases and the 64bit gcc is used in both cases (using -m32 to build the 32bit version). fix_libtool.sh and revdep-rebuild won't help here.

Sorry about the signature problem. (I had left off a 4) It's fixed.

Have you tried what the emerge suggests?
Code:
FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox


Forgive me for being out of the loop! But since I am brand new to Gentoo, and there is NO statement about where to change this "FEATURES=-sandbox emerge sandbox", I keep getting the same problem. I tried changing this in /etc/make.conf, but nothing is working.

And let me point out, that if I have correctly place that line in /etc/make.conf, your mentioning it here, as it is in the output from the terminal, doesn't include the required parenthesis. Not using them causes the system to fail.

I too am erroneously getting this ABI=32, which immediately struck me as odd, since I am running 64bit.

You just enter it on the command line as it is...don't add it to make.conf

I got the same problem, and non of the posted solutions did worked.
One thing that no one has mentioned (and I dunno if its a normal thing) is that when I try to emerge gcc with a

USE="multilib" emerge gcc

It does not enable multilib use flag ( it keeps as (-multilib) no matter what I do ). Is that right??

I think I have discovered what is really going on. When you install an amd64 system the default profile is a multilib profile. For a multilib setup you should have IA32 executable support in your kernel. If you want to have a pure 64-bit system you have forgotten to change your profile during installation. To select the right profile do:

Code:
ln -snf /usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2007.0/no-multilib /etc/make.profile

Had the same problem with sandbox after doing a (required) emerge -e world:

error: cannot run C compiled programs.

It took some time to sort this out. Actually some package seems to dislike the softlink from /lib to /lib64 and replaces it with a real directory, so the root directory did look something like:

/lib
/lib32
/lib64

instead of:

/lib -> lib64
/lib32
/lib64

This causes all sorts of problems as the 32 bit run time linker is actually stored in /lib64, searched at runtime in /lib, ...

After merging the contents of /lib to /lib64 and restoring the soft link from lib to lib64 the sandbox emerge went smoothly.
