I ran crossdev but the binutils needed sys-libs/gpm so the build failed. This is so minor, I just had to dig through logs, to discover it was configure that failed and read the /var/tmp/portage............/work/build/config.log to discover that the C compiler failed because gpm.h wasn't found. emerge -s gpm told me what it was called and that it wasn't installed, emerge gpm, crossdev again and fixed. Either way, dependency checking might be considered Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.on an x86 box, unmerge sys-libs/gpm it it's installed 2.crossdev to make a toolchain for x86_64 3.that should re-produce the problem Specifically, I used the below crossdev command. I presumed that I needed to have the same use flags as the target host I was building for, so I added those as well.

Please, don't tarball/gzip/whatever-else tiny attachements; it's extremely annoying.
binutils should not need gmp the logs you posted simply tell me: checking for unistd.h... checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables See `config.log' for more details. you'll have to post the config.log file for me to give more of an answer
(In reply to comment #5) > you'll have to post the config.log file for me to give more of an answer Crap, you're right, I didn't include it. I'll try to reproduce the error, the problem is that I did an emerge --sync since then and my 1st attempt to reproduce it failed :(
Ok, this is where I made my mistake, I looked at the wrong config.log (I needed to look at the libiberty/config.log and I mistook the below failed check for gmp.h (which I just reproduced) for the actual error (gmp.h not being *required*). configure:2317: checking for correct version of gmp.h configure:2330: gcc -c -march=athlon-xp -pipe -O2 conftest.c 1>&5 configure:2320:17: error: gmp.h: No such file or directory configure: In function 'main': configure:2324: error: 'choke' undeclared (first use in this function) configure:2324: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once configure:2324: error: for each function it appears in.) configure:2324: error: expected ';' before 'me' configure: failed program was: #line 2319 "configure" #include "confdefs.h" #include "gmp.h" int main() { #if __GNU_MP_VERSION < 3 choke me #endif ; return 0; } Since I can't reproduce, I'm leaving this as invalid. It's possible that the underlying cause was resolved in a patch I received after the emerge --sync
