dev-libs/boost has recently become a dependency for openoffice-2.0.4 and was added to my world update When emerging boost, I see this: bin/boost/libs/regex/build/libboost_regex.so/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/winstances.o: file not recognized: File format not recognized collect2: ld returned 1 exit status ---SNIP--- ...failed gcc-Link-action bin/boost/libs/regex/build/libboost_regex.so/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi/libboost_regex-mt.so... ...skipped <@boost!lib>libboost_regex-mt.so for lack of <@boost!libs!regex!build/libboost_regex.so/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi>libboost_regex-mt.so...

Created attachment 99833 [details] Emerge log for dev-libs/boost-1.33.1
Created attachment 99834 [details] Mentioned winstances.o
I just realized that files in bin/boost/libs/regex/build/libboost_regex.so/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true/ and bin/boost/libs/regex/build/libboost_regex.so/gcc/release/shared-linkable-true/threading-multi all have the same md5sums except wintances.o Why though? Ho-hmm...
Okay, if I swap threading-multi/winstances.o with winstances.o while it's building, it appears that things work. Whether this affects the resulting libraries is a whole other matter...
Ok, I'll see whether I can reproduce it (have to update to glibc-2.5 for that first). If nothing turns up after that, I'll try to contact upstream and see what we get there. If you'd like to help, you could try to compile wininstances.cpp manually and see whether this gives some more information why the compilation fails.
Sorry for the long answer time. I could partially reproduce the problem: On my machine gcc fails silently and doesn't generate winstances.o at all (and therefore compiles through). But I still don't know why this happens.
Well, I don't get this issue with boost-1.33.1-r1, so I'll mark the bug as fixed.
