I am trying to re-emerge kproject because revdep-rebuild is saying it needs to be done and I'm about to use it heavily. It won't rebuild (but that's not what this bug is about). So I tried "emerge -e kproject" and hunkered down to wait through a 200-step emerge. On step 174, a build of dev-libs/glib-1.2.10-r5 failed because "configure" decided that gcc was incapable of producing an executable. This is not plausible after 173 builds, of course, but it is still a show-stopper, and distressing in its own right. So there follows the output of "emerge --info" and I'll be attaching the head and tail of the output from the "emerge -e".
Created attachment 89590 [details] the start of the "emerge -e" output showing the complete list of ebuilds This includes the list of all 200 ebuilds that were to be emerged. Failure was on item 174: glib.
Created attachment 89591 [details] the entire output from the failed attempt to build glib. There's an odd thing on the end of the gcc line. I have been unable to track it to anything in my environment (the string FLAG does not occur in my environment, nor does O1, for instance), nor to anything I can recognize in the ebuild. The "configure" script itself is intensely mystifying to me, so I have no idea how this happens. It is eminently repeatable.
Reopen with emerge --info.
I was asked to reopen with emerge --info. I thought I had in the original. Sigh. So here it is. treat ~ # emerge --info Performing Global Updates: /usr/portage/profiles/updates/2Q-2006 (Could take a couple of minutes if you have a lot of binary packages.) .='update pass' *='binary update' @='/var/db move' s='/var/db SLOT move' S='binary SLOT move' p='update /etc/portage/package.*' ........................... ** Skipping packages.

Oops. My mistake. I found the offending LDFLAGS setting in my /etc/make.conf, with a note that it was suggested by a thread in gentoo-user. I should have kept reading that thread, because later contributions made it clear it was a bad idea. I removed that line, and now glib emerges just fine.
