could just make depend on >=2.17

However, my understanding from having my own bugs invalidated is that Gentoo
policy is that ebuilds may NOT depend upon core compiler/system util versions,
etc.

My guess is some dev. will invalidate this :).

i'm guessing the new binutils will be stabilized like they have for
alpha/arm/ia64/mips/ppc/ppc64/sparc unless there's something specific to x86
and amd64 that's stopping it.

amd64, x86 - any special trouble w/ stabilizing 2.17? Been done everywhere
else.

it's being discussed in http://bugs.gentoo.org/134112 basically devs are
tossing up going straight to 2.17 or backporting some security patch.

There's bug 149398

> There's bug 149398

Shrug; that bug didn't move anywhere for 9 months and noone of embedded folks
seems to be disturbed about it.

Please try mplayer-1.0.20070622-r1 with -ssse3

*** Bug 183104 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

binutils-2.17 stable on amd64 and x86

removing all remaining arches, as all have binutils 2.17 stable.  Closing.
