I initially posted my problem-description on Bug 247671. But this seems to be a different problem and is allready solved now. If I try to emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.552-r2 against my linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r4 on amd64 I get the following: ...

I have also tried to use a default-kernel-config with just the options enabled the ati-driver needs, didn't change a thing. I know from others, that they compiled the ati-drivers in the same version with the same kernel version I use with success! One other user in bug 236871 reported the same error, but with a older version. The current version should fix this if I understand it right. Please help me to track down under which circumstances this error occurs.

Could you attach your kernel .config?
Created attachment 173498 [details] Kernel Config linux-2.6.27-gentoo-r4
I'm not sure if this is an issue, but you have both intel and amd AGP parts built in to your kernel. Also, turning off ftrace is a good idea, as it is now disabled in more recent kernels due to issues. However, since your computer has a Core 2, I highly doubt you are using AGP (maybe not) anymore and probably have a PCI Express card. If that is indeed the case try disabling AGP under device drivers->Graphics Support.
Hi kerick, no it was not the enabled AGP for both platforms, but you pointed me in the right direction. I re-checked the kernel configuration and stumbled over one. I needed to enable Executable file formats / Emulations => IA32 Emulation (I selected IA32 a.out support, too. Don't know if is needed). This options exported the needed symbols. Ati-drivers compiles fine now. I'm not an ebuild-expert, but I think portage can check kernel-options to be enabled. I think this could save someone else to run in this problem. How to contact the ebuild-maintainer for ati-drivers the right way? Thank you very much for your help!

I have no experience trying to contact a particular maintainer, but you could try going onto IRC to contact the dev or put in a new bug request. Flag the new request as an enhancement, describe the feature you want ( add a check for 32 bit exec support to ati-drivers ebuild for amd64 ), and point them to this bug. Glad that I was able to help! (In reply to comment #5) > Hi kerick, > > no it was not the enabled AGP for both platforms, but you pointed me in the > right direction.

I created a new bug 248983 with a proposal to let the ebuild check for this option to be enabled on amd64. Waiting for the ebuild-maintainer to hear what he thinks about it.
