When tried to emerge boinc i got error as below. I have to add that this computer runs stable x86 hardened profile. On other machine with mixed x86 and ~x86 i got the same curl installed and boinc do not failed and runs ok. localhost ~ # emerge -atv boinc These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order: Calculating dependencies... done!

Sorry but at the moment i do not have /var/tmp/portage/boinc directory. My irritation caused recompilation of curl and then compilation of boinc was successful. No idea why because while recompiling curl there was no change in useflags or base system (gcc, glibc, binutils) # emerge -pv curl These are the packages that would be merged, in order: Calculating dependencies... done! [ebuild R ] net-misc/curl-7.15.1-r1 USE="gnutls ldap ssl -ares -idn -ipv6 -kerberos -krb4 -test" 0 kB If you need any more info i'll try to help, but as I wrote above - finally boinc compiled.
Closing then.
