did the complete build/install cycle 3 times, the links installed are fine, but the shared lib has text in it, not sure what it is, but not a library. I used ebuild to compile the lib, it shows fine in it's .libs temp dir. If no one else runs this down, I might finish it myself, but I'm not quick. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge net-libs/nfsidmap 2. nm -no /usr/lib/libnfsidmap.so.0.1.0 (shows no symbols) 3. Actual Results: I got an oddly formatted text file in place of the shared lib. Expected Results: installed the libnfsidmap.so.0.1.0 shared lib so I can get nfs working.

nm doesnt work on shared objects which have been fully stripped use `readelf -s`
