ld segfaults with error 11 while emerging ffmpeg and/or transcode. Tried downgrading to -mcpu=7400. No luck. Downgrading to binutils-2.14.90.0.6-r7 fixes the problem.

There is a bug report for debian here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=219187 it was reported upstream at the binutils list (including a fix): http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2003-11/msg00059.html maybe this helps. my ppc machine has no spare test cycles atm. so i hope to be able to test the fix mentioned in the binutils list later.

Created attachment 20360 [details] test ebuild
Created attachment 20361 [details] patch needed place it in files/2.14/
the patch in attachment 20361 [details] fixes the segfault problem. i successfully emerged all the mentioned ebuilds (gst-plugins, transcode, ffmpeg). the ebuild in attachment 20360 [details] should go into portage and marked as ~ppc. thanks luca for merging the different patches from the binutils mailing list.
In portage.
