After trying to solve the expat stupidness, I have one system left which decided to stop linking at all. Since pango is on top of the emerge list, pango results in the same error. So I started to update them all manually. revdep-rebuild can't find a 'working' update path aswel. I installed the latest versions of glib(c). make[5]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/pkgconfig-0.20/work/pkg-config-0.20/glib-1.2.8/gmodule' /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O3 -march=athlon-tbird -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o testgmodule -rdynamic testgmodule.o libgmodule.la ../libglib.la i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc -O3 -march=athlon-tbird -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer -Wall -D_REENTRANT -o testgmodule -rdynamic testgmodule.o ./.libs/libgmodule.a ../.libs/libglib.a ./.libs/libgmodule.a(gmodule.o): In function `g_module_symbol': gmodule.c:(.text+0x189): undefined reference to `dlsym' ./.libs/libgmodule.a(gmodule.o): In function `g_module_close': gmodule.c:(.text+0x3d7): undefined reference to `dlclose' ./.libs/libgmodule.a(gmodule.o): In function `g_module_open': gmodule.c:(.text+0x708): undefined reference to `dlopen' gmodule.c:(.text+0x7ae): undefined reference to `dlclose' gmodule.c:(.text+0x845): undefined reference to `dlopen' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[5]: *** [testgmodule] Error 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/pkgconfig-0.20/work/pkg-config-0.20/glib-1.2.8/gmodule' make[4]: *** [all] Error 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/pkgconfig-0.20/work/pkg-config-0.20/glib-1.2.8/gmodule' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/pkgconfig-0.20/work/pkg-config-0.20/glib-1.2.8' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/pkgconfig-0.20/work/pkg-config-0.20/glib-1.2.8' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/pkgconfig-0.20/work/pkg-config-0.20' make: *** [all] Error 2 Portage 2.1_pre7-r5 (default-linux/x86/2005.0, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.4-r1, 2.6.15-gentoo i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.15-gentoo i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor Gentoo Base System version 1.12.0_pre17 distcc 2.18.3 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2-r1 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.17 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r7 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r2 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r3 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-tbird -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/eselect/compiler /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-tbird -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache confcache distlocks metadata-transfer sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://10.0.0.205/gentoo ftp://ftp.snt.utwente.nl/pub/os/linux/gentoo ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/Linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.wh2.tu-dresden.de/pub/mirrors/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j1" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/overlays/ebuildexchange /usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://10.0.0.205/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow 3dnowext X a52 aac alsa apm avi bitmap-fonts bpm bzip2 crypt cups divx4linux dri dv dvd emboss encode f77 ffmpeg flac foomaticdb fortran gif glitz gnutls gstreamer gtk gtk2 hash-dri imagemagick ipv6 isdnlog jack joystick jpeg lcms libg++ libsamplerate libwww lirc mad mikmod mmx mmxext mng motif mp3 mpeg ncurses nls nptl nptlonly nsplugin nvidia ogg oggvorbis openal opengl oss pam pic png pppd quicktime readline scanner sdl softmmu speex spell ssl svg tcpd theora threads tiff truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts userlocales vorbis win32codecs wmf xml2 xprint xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_mouse input_devices_keyboard input_devices_hyperpen kernel_linux userland_GNU video_cards_nvidia" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS
Seems I have solved it by emerging the glib-1 again. And because of pkgconfig works again, pango compiles :) For the record: did glib break because of a glibc-2.4 upgrade?
