Bugzilla Bug 81210

I tried to emerge alleyoop (a GUI application for the valgrind memory
profiling/debugging tool). During compilation emerge aborted due to an error
during make:

symtab.o(.text+0x1ab): In function `symtab_map_new':
: undefined reference to `bfd_get_section_size_before_reloc'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [alleyoop] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/alleyoop-0.8.2/work/alleyoop-0.8.2/src'
make[2]: *** [all] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/alleyoop-0.8.2/work/alleyoop-0.8.2/src'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/var/tmp/portage/alleyoop-0.8.2/work/alleyoop-0.8.2'
make: *** [all] Error 2

The complete output of the process of emerging alleyoop can be seen at the URL
given above. Possibly this is the result of a missed dependency?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge alleyoop
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
See http://otaku42.de/alleyoop_emerge_err.txt

Expected Results:  
Emerge should have worked without error messages.

please attach emerge info

patch added - Please test and confirm it works ok. This will remind me to
submit it upstream.

Compilation works fine now for me. From what I can tell the problem is fixed
now. Thanks for your fast responses.

Compilation not works for me (idem error)(sorry for my bad english)

Alejandro,

please include the output of how it failed (just like the intial bug report)

Created an attachment (id=50910) [details]
The complete output of the emerge

Alejandro,

1. You speak English well enough for me to understand you easily. No need to apologise. I hope my English is understable too.
2. Have you done an emerge sync after 2005-02-08? If not, do "emerge sync" again and the problem will hopefully be fixed.

Thanks! It's Working
