The rtacct executable is the the misc directory (not the ip directory as the ebuild expects). Other executables are in the misc directory that are not installed. gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN_H -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_BIG_ENDIAN_H -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -g -I../include -I/usr/include/db1 -include ../include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h -I/usr/include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES -o nstat nstat.o -lm gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN_H -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_BIG_ENDIAN_H -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -g -I../include -I/usr/include/db1 -include ../include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h -I/usr/include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES -o ifstat ifstat.o ../lib/libnetlink.a ../lib/libutil.a -lm gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN_H -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_BIG_ENDIAN_H -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -g -I../include -I/usr/include/db1 -include ../include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h -I/usr/include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES -o rtacct rtacct.o ../lib/libnetlink.a ../lib/libutil.a -lm gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN_H -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_BIG_ENDIAN_H -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -g -I../include -I/usr/include/db1 -include ../include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h -I/usr/include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES -o arpd arpd.o ../lib/libnetlink.a ../lib/libutil.a -ldb1 gcc -D_GNU_SOURCE -march=pentium3 -O2 -pipe -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_LITTLE_ENDIAN_H -D_LINUX_BYTEORDER_BIG_ENDIAN_H -Wstrict-prototypes -Wall -g -I../include -I/usr/include/db1 -include ../include-glibc/glibc-bugs.h -I/usr/include -DRESOLVE_HOSTNAMES -o rtstat rtstat.o gcc ss.o ssfilter.o -lresolv -L../lib -lnetlink -lutil -o ss make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/iproute2-2.4.7.20020116/work/iproute2/misc' >>> Test phase [none]: sys-apps/iproute2-2.4.7.20020116 >>> Install iproute2-2.4.7.20020116 into /var/tmp/portage/iproute2-2.4.7.20020116/image/ category sys-apps >>> dosbin: making rtacct executable... install: cannot stat `rtacct': No such file or directory !!!
