you'll have to either upgrade glibc to 2.7-r2 or use binutils < 2.18.50.0.4 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 209629 ***
Then ebuild for glibc 2.6.1 should block binutils >= 2.18.50.0.4 (In reply to comment #1) > you'll have to either upgrade glibc to 2.7-r2 or use binutils < 2.18.50.0.4 > > *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 209629 *** >
