is there a reason that your running ~x86 with out dates toolchain?

(In reply to comment #1)

I am also trying without success to build gcc-4.1.0-cvs on this system, so I set
that to stop gentoo complaining to me about all its dependencies.

However, I assumed that if I had gcc-config set to 3.3.5, it would use the
binutils that "goes with" gcc 3.3.5, so it wouldn't matter in terms of binutils.
Is my understanding not correct?

[Comment 3 Jory A. Pratt 2005-07-23 10:20:16 UTC]

do me a favor and run emerge -pu system and you will see your toolchain is out
of date. If I remember right gcc-3.3.5 had issues. I would suggest you try
emerge -pu system as I stated if it list stuff update it then try to update
mozilla-firefox after it.
