I think this package needs compiling with -fPIC. /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: warning: creating a DT_TEXTREL in object. /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: .libs/libgcrypt_la-global.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `gcry_malloc' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.4.6/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value emerge --info Portage 2.1-r1 (hardened/amd64, gcc-3.4.6, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.14-hardened-r8 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-hardened-r8 x86_64 AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 242 Gentoo Base System version 1.6.14 dev-lang/python: 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] 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-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.16.1-r2 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.13-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.22 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=opteron -O2 -pipex" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-march=opteron -O2 -pipex" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://gentoo.blueyonder.co.uk http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/www.ibiblio.org/gentoo/ " MAKEOPTS="-j3" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_RSYNC_OPTS="--recursive --links --safe-links --perms --times --compress --force --whole-file --delete --delete-after --stats --timeout=180 --exclude='/distfiles' --exclude='/local' --exclude='/packages'" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 apache2 authdaemond berkdb crypt crypto dlloader hardened imap jbig jpeg jpg justify libwww maildir mpeg msn mysql pam perl pic png readline sasl ssl tcpd tiff userlocales valias vhosts wmf xorg zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_mouse input_devices_keyboard kernel_linux userland_GNU" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
On a side note, -pipex is not a valid flag.
Indeed - that is a typo I didn't spot (should be -pipe) and this resolves the compile problem. Apologies.
