Well, today I did an emerge sync, emerge -auD --newuse world, emerge -a depclean I noticed that libstdc++-v3 was on the depclean list. So I went ahead and unemerged it. This caused rar to stop functioning. Incidentally, revdep-rebuild does not pick this up for some reason. So I proposed making libstdc++-v3 a dependency of rar. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
No, it works here with gcc-3.4.4 and glibc-2.3.5-r0. Seems you have broken more things with depclean. $ rar a test.rar test.txt RAR 3.40 Copyright (c) 1993-2004 Alexander Roshal 8 Sep 2004 Shareware version Type RAR -? for help Evaluation copy.

Post some real error messages and emerge --info output and reopen then.
Oh well, it really fails on systems with only >=gcc-3.4.4 installed.
