Do other versions of dhcpcd emerge? Do other ebuilds emerge?
The original description of this bug was "configure: error: cannot run C compiled programs." because this fails in every configure. Not just in the the dhcpcd ebuild. revdep-rebuild doesnt report any linking problems.
looks like your glibc is broken ... _start is provided by: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../crt1.o try running `readelf -s` on that file ... you should see the _start symbol
readelf -s prints nothing to console. how can i fix this problem?
you'll need to grab a glibc binary and then re-emerge it
