I've got the same problem with a lot of packages (fam-oss, alsa, mozilla, etc.) and I saw a lot of people on the internet having such problems, on different plateforms and differente distributions. I took the liberty to put this as major (and hesitated with critical) because it blocks me (and i guess other users) for updating a lot of packages. I'm ready to test anything, thanks by advance for your help. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: So here's the problem : emerge -p arts gives me : [ebuild N ] kde-base/arts-1.1.0 (i've taken arts as an example because there was no arts package on my system, i'm using esd, so the problem is not due to an existing version of the package) Actual Results: Then I'm getting this error : /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2.1/../../../../i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: Bad value collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[2]: *** [libmcop.la] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/arts-1.1.0/work/arts-1.1/mcop' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/arts-1.1.0/work/arts-1.1' make: *** [all] Error 2 !!!

what version of binutils ?
sys-devel/binutils-2.13.90.0.16-r1
Try to update to binutils-2.13.90.0.18.
ouch ! i'm getting this error when trying to emerge the binutils-2.13.90.0.18: checking for gcc... (cached) gcc checking whether the C compiler (gcc -march=pentium4 -O3 -pipe -all-static) works... no configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables. make: *** [configure-binutils] Error 1 !!!

if needed, here's my gcc version : gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.2.1 20021207 (Gentoo Linux 3.2.1-20021207) Copyright (C) 2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

Make sure you do not have 'static' in your use, or '-all-static' in your CFLAGS and try again.
removing "static" from my USE make the emerge binutils-2.13.90.0.18 successfull but i still get the same error when trying to emerge arts.
Note that removing all GCC optimization doesn't change anything.

In the same spirit than "update your binutils" i've tried this : - i've switched to accept
In the same spirit than "update your binutils" i've tried this : - i've switched to accept ¬x86 for development packages - i've done emerge -u gcc - i've switched back to stable x86 - emerged arts (the same) and ... it WORKS ! :) I'm testing if other "broken" packages work now and let you know. For your information here's the result of emerge -pu gcc : installed versions : the one i forced with temporary ¬x86 flag, and on the right side, what emerge would like to downgrade now. Calculating dependencies ...done!

Regards, Guillaume.
Ok, great. I also have a Pentium4, and find it is better to not use '-march=pentium4', but rather '-march=pentium3', as it does not miscompile as the pentium4 target. I have marked gcc-3.2.2 and binutils-2.13.90.0.18 stable, and will do so glibc-2.3.1-r3 ... have a look at other things, and let me know if you are happy that it was only broken version of gcc.
Yes, everything's working fine now. I (i mean my poor computer) compiled kdelibs, mozilla and kopete this afternoon without a problem. So yes i'm happy with this beeing a broken gcc stuff. Thanks for your help. Regards, Guillaume.
Great, thanks for your help and glad its working now!
