When using binutils-2.17 the linker "ld" fails to link the newest version of crystalspace taken from svn. The linker fails without any error message. The output is simply: collect2: ld returned 1 exit status Work-around is to downgrade to binutils-2.16.1 emerge --info: Portage 2.1-r1 (default-linux/x86/2005.1, gcc-3.3.6, glibc-2.3.6-r3, 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.14-gentoo-r2 i686 Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 - M CPU 2.00GHz Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 dev-python/pycrypto: 2.0.1-r5 dev-util/ccache: [Not Present] dev-util/confcache: [Not Present] sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 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-r3 sys-devel/gcc-config: 1.3.12-r6 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3.5/env /usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/X11/xkb /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/env.d /etc/gconf /etc/revdep-rebuild /etc/terminfo" CXXFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium4" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig distlocks metadata-transfer sandbox sfperms strict" GENTOO_MIRRORS="http://distfiles.gentoo.org http://distro.ibiblio.org/pub/linux/distributions/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" 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/esoft-portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="x86 3dnow X a aalib acl acpi alsa apache2 apm arts avi bcmath berkdb bitmap-fonts bzlib calendar cdparanoia cdr cli crypt ctype cups curl dba dga divx4linux dlloader dri dvd dvdread e eds emboss encode exif fbcon flac flash foomaticdb fortran ftp gb gd gdbm ggi gif gphoto2 gpm gpsgstreamer graphviz gstreamer gtk gtk2 icc iconv imap imlib innodb ipv6 irus-scan isdnlog j java javascript jbig jpeg kde kdeenablefinal lcms ldap libg++ libwww lirc mad maildir mbox mhash mikmod mime ming mmx mmx2 motif mozila mp3 mpeg mysql n ncurses nls nlsodc ntpl nvidia odbc offensive ogg oggvorbis opengl oss pam pcntl pcre pda pdflib peg perl php png pnp posix postgres ppds pppd pytho python qt qt3 qt4 quicktime readline reflection rts samba sasl scanner sdl sessio session snmp soap sockets spell spl sqlite sse sse2 ssl svga tcltk tcpd tidy tiff truetyp truetype truetype-fonts trusted type1-fonts usb v v4l v4l2 videos vorbis wmf wmfxml xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xorg xosd xscreensaver xsl xv xvid zlib elibc_glibc input_devices_keyboard input_devices_mouse input_devices_evdev kernel_linux userland_GNU" Unset: CTARGET, EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS, INSTALL_MASK, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS, LINGUAS, PORTAGE_RSYNC_EXTRA_OPTS
post some info on how to quickly reproduce this as i dont feel like digging into crystalspace build :P
