Hi, after an emerge --newuse world I got an error every time my desktop and my notebook tries to load X. Something about a duplicated symbol, the same error that appears when you have hardened, but in my case I dont even have ~x86 global, just for some packages and xorg, gcc, glibc are not ~x86, only kde. I tried many things to solve this (based on hardened threads) but a common solution is to switch to another profile but I am already not using hardened just the default profile. Some clue ? ------ (II) LoadModule: "bitmap" (II) Loading /usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a Duplicate symbol __i686.get_pc_thunk.bx in /usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a:bi tmapmod.o Also defined in /usr/lib/modules/fonts/libbitmap.a Fatal server error: Module load failure I got my laptop working with USE="dlloader" and re-emerge xorg-x11 but my desktop has a Radeon 9600 pro and ati drivers does not like dlloader flag. The strange is Xorg worked well. That problem already happened to me and I have to reinstall gentoo but I do not want to reinstall every month due to an error that may happen any time. I had the same installation for almost 3 years and in less than 2 month I have to reinstall in 2 computers due the same error. Any ideas ? I will put my laptop information because my desktop does not have X working and the problem occourred in my laptop too. Reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install gentoo 2. emerge -u world everyday 3.

Please remove -fPIC from your CFLAGS. IMO it's a duplicate of bug 43177, see http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43177#c137.
*Never* put fPIC into your useflags. Also, this is *not* a bugzilla product bug, please read the instructions before filing bugs.
Err, s/useflags/C[XX]FLAGS... Marking this INVALID.
