What is your sys-devel/binutils version?
sys-devel/binutils-2.14.90.0.8-r1
Hmm... it seems I can't compile anything anymore after the binutils downgrade: # <solar@gentoo.org> (04 May 2004) # remasking again due to bad gcc/binutils mixes What should I do ?
Do `ld --help` to see if your ld supports the --as-needed option. My package versions, if it helps (not experiencing this problem): * sys-devel/binutils Latest version available: 2.14.90.0.8-r1 Latest version installed: 2.14.90.0.8-r1 Size of downloaded files: 10,777 kB Homepage: http://sources.redhat.com/binutils/ Description: Tools necessary to build programs * sys-libs/glibc Latest version available: 2.3.3_pre20040207 Latest version installed: 2.3.3_pre20040207 Size of downloaded files: 15,180 kB Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/libc.html Description: GNU libc6 (also called glibc2) C library * sys-devel/gcc Latest version available: 3.3.3 Latest version installed: 3.3.3 Size of downloaded files: 23,063 kB Homepage: http://www.gnu.org/software/gcc/gcc.html Description: The GNU Compiler Collection.

Created attachment 30783 [details] ld --help
As you can see from the `emerge info` output, I have the same packages as you...
Strange, --as-needed does not seem to be supported by your ld. Check that you are using correct ld (`which ld`, should print out "/usr/bin/ld") and do `ld --version`. Mine shows: $ ld --version GNU ld version 2.15.90.0.3 20040415 Copyright 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

It seems this is the bug that has bitten me: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49363
good catch, duping *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 49363 ***
