I've emerged --sync today (20090321) and emerged -nuvtDNa system and then world. Emerge world fails on gimp. Looking at the build file, there is this line: ---- checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm -B output from x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-gcc object... failed ---- Which, in the process, leads to all symbol generation steps to fail, such as: --- generating symbol list for `_gimpenums.la' /usr/bin/nm -B .libs/gimpenumsmodule.o | | /bin/sed 's/.* //' | sort | uniq > .libs/_gimpenums.exp ../../libtool: eval: line 4388: syntax error near unexpected token `|' ---- and the build process stops at these steps. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Have a stable amd64 system (I do have some keyworded packages, not gimp though, I'll join the package.keywords as an attachment) 2. Emerge --sync dated 20090321 3. emerge gimp Actual Results: Gimp wasn't updated (stays to 2.4.6) Expected Results: Gimp should have been updated to 2.6.4

Attach your config.log.

This looks a bit similar to bug 196243, but that's not really helpful.
It was something to do with my setup, the problem has been long solved.
