Ayeeee carumba! Go recompile it w/ *sane* C[XX]FLAGS (like -march=athlon-xp -O2 -pipe -fomit-frame-pointer) and empty LDFLAGS. And, gcc-4.1 is completely unsupported on hardened and package.masked on hardened profile. Use a proper hardened profile or recompile gcc without hardened in your use flags.
Well, the same bug was reported in the forums, also by a polish guy. Perhaps eix has a problem in connection with some polish locales. Was perhaps /etc/eixrc manually modified? If not, please create an attachment with this file and with "dump-data" after "eix --dump >dump-data" (do not modify these files with an editor before - this would change perhaps some encodings!).
