I tried to build openrc-0.2.4-r1 on my system today. It failed with libeinfo.So: file not recognized: File format not recognized When I changed my CFLAGS from -O2 -pipe -ggdb -march=k8 to -O2 -pipe -ggdb -mtune=k8 it worked fine. I'm not sure if this is openrc's fault or if this bug shold be filed against toolchain. Note: I cannot post emerge --info right now since I cannot start X or anything. Reproducible: Always
Your toolchain is totally hosed because I build all my boxes with "-march=k8 -O2 -pipe -ggdb" Rebuild gcc, binutils, and glibc.
my guess is your binutils is screwed up ... you cannot downgrade/use older versions after compiling gcc against newer ones
I can confirm that my binutils were completely broken. It hat something to do with my software raid which failed and resynced. The resynced state was horribly broken. The suggestion by Doug fixed the issues for me. Also an additional "qcheck -a" showed some other problems. Thank's for the hint for binutils! I already rebuilt gcc and glibc, but binutils was missing.
