app-portage/eix-0.3.0_beta builds the package database just fine, but when trying to search I get to wait for a long time (~20s on an Ultra10), until it crashes with the message "Illegal instruction". This happens on both a hardened Ultra10 and a non-hardened Blade100, both running gentoo-sources 2.6.12-r9. emerge --info for the Ultra10 (the Blade100 currently doesn't boot for unrelated reasons) at the end. eix 0.2.6 works.

Does eix '' work?
Yes, it works.
I ran into the same problem while testing eix on my shiny new mips-machine. The bug should be fixed in the new 0.3.0 release of eix: http://eix.sourceforge.net/ebuilds/eix-0.3.0.ebuild Can you confirm this?
0.3.0 in cvs, please test
I had the same prob on ppc, 0.3.0 fixed it. Thanks
0.3.0 seems to work on a blade 100 sparc.
An upgrade to eix-0.3.0-r1 seems to have solved it for the Ultra10 in question too.
