While doing emerge @preserved-rebuild after world update, cairo fails to build: libtool: link: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -shared -fPIC -DPIC .libs/libcairo_trace_la-trace.o .libs/libcairo_trace_la-lookup-symbol.o -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64/binutils/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/2.24 -Wl,-rpath -Wl,/usr/lib64/binutils/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/2.24 -Wl,--as-needed -lpthread /usr/lib64/binutils/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/2.24/libbfd.so -liberty -ldl -lz -lrt -lm -flto -O2 -march=native -Wl,-O1 -Wl,-soname -Wl,libcairo-trace.so.0 -o .libs/libcairo-trace.so.0.0.0 /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.8.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: cannot find -liberty collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status Makefile:537: recipe for target 'libcairo-trace.la' failed Not a toolchain expert, but is "-liberty" correct there? There is no libiberty.so in any package or in the file system, just libiberty.h in /usr/include (from binutils). From my understanding the error comes from libbfd.la in binutils (which seems to have been updated to 2.24 only recently): # find /usr/lib64 -name '*.la' |xargs grep iberty

Check out bug #497268, I believe this is fixed but it looks like you will need to rebuild binutils
Oh sorry. Hadn't checked the latest bugs against binutils. After updating binutils 2.24 with latest ebuilds everything is back to order.
